[Ethereum] geth sync status is not clear

go-ethereum

I just started the sync from scratch about 20 hours ago by running geth --rpc --fast --cache=1024.

What I can see now in console is that the last block that was synced is number=3918966
count=13 elapsed=11.009ms number=3918966 hash=2c8144…c066ee ignored=0 INFO [06-25|16:33:27] Imported new state entries

After that it is just counting in console like this:

count=55 flushed=45 elapsed=27.008ms processed=6452838 pending=11692 retry=10 duplicate=1208 unexpected=4863
INFO [06-25|20:28:11] Imported new state entries
count=384 flushed=428 elapsed=26.019ms processed=8494218 pending=3621 retry=2 duplicate=1535 unexpected=7772
INFO [06-25|20:28:11] Imported new state entriesenter image description here

Does that means that sync is finished?

eth.syncing returns:

{                         
  currentBlock: 3927202,  
  highestBlock: 3927287,  
  knownStates: 8621554,   
  pulledStates: 8618011,  
  startingBlock: 3926371  
}

eth.blockNumber returns 0

...\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum\geth\ folder size already reached 22 GB and I can tell that folder is continue to grow.

As long as the state entries are still being processed you have not fully synced. When you are fully synced you should see blocks being processed like this: 

INFO [07-26|12:45:27] Imported new chain segment               blocks=1    txs=0    mgas=0.000   elapsed=4.999ms   mgasps=0.000   number=1376235 hash=7613d4…
