RE: FML... My Damn Witness Crashes During Restart.. HELP

in #witness-category6 years ago

I'm not exactly sure what may be the issue, but often failure to replay means running out of memory. Is /shm/ its own ramdisk or is it equivalent to /dev/shm/ ? What size is it set to be? Setting a ramdisk to be larger than available memory will make it spill over to swap space which can allow for replays even when your memory is used up. It will take about forever if done on a HD, but you can get away with it on an SSD.

Sort:  

I've got 1TB of HDD space... Not sure what the hell is going on. Don't believe I have /shm/ set to a ramdisk.

Using @someguy123's steem in a box.. I might try doing a manual compile / install and trying again here soon later today. A wee bit perplexed at this point.

I've got a 10GB swap file too but not sure if its working. Restarting my server again now to see if that was the issue after updating it.

Thanks pfunk.
