Go-ethereum: terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)

Created on 20 Oct 2017  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: ethereum/go-ethereum

The full-node I use for walleth-push and the issuETH ChainWatcher always dies after a day or so with SIGKILL.
Version is 1.7.2 from PPA.
Interestingly this only happens to the main-net node. Never had this problem with the Rinkeby one. This is running through since days.
I just recently added support for main-net - so I cannot say if this is a newly added problem. Was only running a full node on main for longer time since 1.7.2. Perhaps it is also a problem originating in the fact that I run 2 geth instances on the same PC (one for Rinkeby and one for Main). Or it is just coming from the fact that Main has more load.

fish: “geth --datadir=/media/ligi/chai…” terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)

The node is started like this:

geth --datadir=/media/ligi/chains/main/ --syncmode=fast --port "35555" -rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 9004

Environment is a Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Will run the node with increased verbosity now as unfortunately the crash does not yield a lot of info. But wanted to open this issue now as it is the 3rd time I had to restart the node

inactive

I think it uses too much memory and the OS forcefully terminates it.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
