Title: Bitcoind / litecoind error: db11exception cannot allocate memory (3 LTC Reward) Post by: 2Kool4Skewl on May 07, 2013, 08:27:29 AM Update: I'm now offering a 3 Ltc Reward to anyone who can fix this issue for me.
I'm running debian amd64 stable and sid on multiple machines. Every time I try to download the blockchain for bitcoin or litecoin using bitcoind or litecoind, I can only download so many blocks and then I get a repeating error stating, "db11exception::txn: cannot allocate memory" I'm not running out of physical memory. I think this may have to do with a file/size limit set on debian. I tried the command "ulimit -n 2048" but that didn't work. Anybody have the same problem or know how to fix it? Title: Re: Bitcoind / litecoind error: db11exception cannot allocate memory Post by: 2Kool4Skewl on May 08, 2013, 03:19:13 AM Apparently, Ubuntu users don't have this problem. Spent all night googling this. I can't believe other users haven't experienced this same problem, because Debian is so popular.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Title: Re: Bitcoind / litecoind error: db11exception cannot allocate memory (3 LTC Reward) Post by: 2Kool4Skewl on May 08, 2013, 07:19:41 AM Here's the exact error message. It just keeps repeating.

Title: Re: Bitcoind / litecoind error: db11exception cannot allocate memory (3 LTC Reward) Post by: 2Kool4Skewl on May 09, 2013, 07:46:00 AM I'm using an ext3 filesystem that should support large enough file sizes.
Also, I'm not running it on a VM. Title: Re: Bitcoind / litecoind error: db11exception cannot allocate memory (3 LTC Reward) Post by: Snail2 on May 09, 2013, 11:09:25 PM By using lsof and sysctl you can check if it's an file limit issue. You can find some good examples here:
