Virtual Box VM with 4 processor, 8GB ram crashed due to OOM running Start9 during IBD and Sync of Bitcoin Core
Discussion
Not enough ram?
that's what's implied, but im hoping its just a fluke. ive restarted and continuing sync. whatever it was doesnt seem like a bitcoin core issue as ive synched on a raspberry pi 3 (1gb) before running raspibolt, and of course a pi4 (both 4gb and 8gb).
Why using start9 then?
Trying to get an instance operating so i can dig around and potentially package Nodeyez for it, but running out of patience. Have never had more issues with a Bitcoin Node than with Start9. This is my 3rd VM attempt.
Ooof. Thats to bad. I might reconsider setting up my client with Start 9 if it's a persistent problem.
I had to put in more ram because OOM kept killing my fulcrum instance.
And then have to resync the db?
I got lucky twice. Third time it nuked I had to resync. 😅 that was when I upped my ram.
Sorry to hear that, I ditched fulcrum and went back to electrs. I had to rync it twice on old hardware that took weeks. Seriously weeks ðŸ˜
I'm genuinely glad that it only takes ~17 hours on my hardware. That would genuinely blow, waiting weeks for it to sync and then have to fucking re-sync for another couple weeks.
