Hi all,

I have a timeout issue with influx 1.8.4 running in raspbian buster, both from the cli and from the influxdb node-red node. From collectd everything works fine.

To summarize and simplify the problem, from the cli

1. I create a new DB
2. I try to load some data in it
3. I get a timeout error.

Connected to [http://localhost:8086](http://localhost:8086) version 1.8.4  
InfluxDB shell version: 1.8.4

> create database test  
> use test  
> Using database test  
> INSERT cpu,host=serverA,region=us\_west value=0.64  
> ERR: {“error”:“timeout”}

Do you any suggestion?

Thanks

Hello @marcostrullato,  
No I’m not sure. That works on my machine.  
Can you please submit an issue?  
Thank you.

I’ve met same situation with you. And i finally fount out the reason.  
You just need to set this

```auto
wal-fsync-delay = "0s"

```

Then everything is ok. This is a bug i guess.
