What about CPU? Maybe that's the problem?

I am running an Ubuntu on VMWare on my windows 10 workstation which is i7, with 1TB HD and 16GB RAM. I set Ubuntu to have 8GB RAM and setup an 8GB swap file as well.

The farthest distance I've reached on the blockchain replay was at 34% .

Well I have a less powerful i5-2550k, and my tests on my VM can compile with 8gb physical RAM. I don't get why you have issues. I would stay start all over? Try from scratch again, I have no clue :\ sorry

Thanks for the response @krnel. I have started from scratch again. And with minimal config file, I reach 94% on the blockchain replay. That's after about 38 hours. But then power went out on our area and I had to start from scratch again.

Does steemd really to start reindexing blocks from scratch all over again after a power interruption? I am wondering if there's way to run steemd to resume replay from where it stops before the power interruption?

Any help will be appreciated.

The replay starts all over.

Thanks for the confirmation @krnel. Even if we gracefully exit a running steemd replay, the next time we run steemd again, it will still start all over, correct?

Yup...

I did ctrl+c to copy, but in my screen on my putty connection and killed the restart of my witness lol. Gotta start all over now. It's a bummer indeed.
