Eos: 1.8.1 start from snapshot error

[lcgogo]

From http://snapshots.eossweden.org/ download the latest snapshot, and start nodeos like below

nodeos --data-dir /data/eos --verbose-http-errors --http-validate-host=false --snapshot /data/eos/${snapshotfile}

The printout is

info 2019-07-17T10:01:27.517 nodeos controller.cpp:2255 startup ] Starting initialization from snapshot, this may take a significant amount of time
error 2019-07-17T10:01:34.968 nodeos controller.cpp:2261 startup ] db storage not configured to have enough storage for the provided snapshot, please increase and retry snapshot

Only find out 2 config value about db and both larger than the bin file.

grep db config.ini

chain-state-db-size-mb = 65536
reversible-blocks-db-size-mb = 65536

What's the size of your physical RAM?

[kevandjeann]

4.00 GB (3.89 GB usable)

I faced and solved this problem very easily. The only thing you should make is,

nano ~/.local/share/eosio/nodeos/config/config.ini

and find the line

# Maximum size (in MiB) of the chain state database (eosio::chain_plugin)

after that, just delete the # sign for the option and set your maximum size as your hdd/ssd area.

For example, for 1tb SSD or HDD store, your config file should look like the figure below,

I guess you need to have around 16GB available RAM to start with this snapshot. Please set chain-state-db-size-mb = 16384 and it take about less than 1 hour:
