node panicked: Failed to download linear chain. about casper-node HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you for submitting the issue.

I had a quick glance at the logs you provided and the code and I have some initial theory:

It looks like your node runs out of peers before downloading a block with a specific hash.

tl;dr; description of the algorithm is:

It will first get a hold of a block's hash (it's either the trusted hash you configure it with or some other block it learned about when fetching the chain of headers first) and sometime later it tries to download that block. It will ask all peers one-by-one and if it runs out of the peers before downloading the block it panics.

Given that there's a lot of

"WARN","fields":{"message":"NodeId::Tls(7e9d..fa72): outgoing connection failed","peer_address":

those two issues might be related – i.e. the former is caused by the latter.
