Comment (by teor): Replying to [comment:9 s7r]: > Still getting it often in `Tor 0.4.1.2-alpha-dev` on a service that is configured with `NumEntryGuards = 3`: > > {{{ > Sep 05 03:22:50.000 [notice] Our directory information is no longer up- to-date enough to build circuits: We're missing descriptors for 1/3 of our primary entry guards (total microdescriptors: 6515/6541). > Sep 05 03:22:50.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit: We're missing descriptors for 1/3 of our primary entry guards (total microdescriptors: 6515/6541). > }}} > > If `NumEntryGuards` is > 1, and we have descriptors for at least 1 primary entry guard, shouldn't it be possible to still build circuits? It's OK to complain about not having it yet in the log file, but I think we should still be able to build circuits. This is the purpose why one would raise `NumEntryGuards` from 1 to some higher value, to gain better connectivity against greater probability of running into a hostile guard.
