Bitcoin/Armory

Hi everyone

My Armory always terminates, due to:

1. ERROR - 1467878318:(BDM_mainthread.cpp:434) BDM thread failed: Failed to create transaction
(MDB_MAP_RESIZED: Database contents grew beyond environment mapsize)

2. Bus error (core dumped)
3. and the one with deter

Can someone please explain what this means and why it makes the Armory application terminate abruptly?

It means the DB failed to extent its map size, i.e. the disk is full.

I would suggest to upgrade to 0.94

Hi goatpig

Thanks for responding, actually I am using 0.94. If I run Armory which runs the bitcoind in the background,
it can't run more then two days without terminating abruptly.

Looks like it's a bug in LMDB. I have a tentative fix for 0.95

One more thing: If you want to let Armory run for long periods of time, you should really consider turning off auto bitcoind management, otherwise Armory will always kill bitcoind if it closes ungracefully. If you manage BitcoinQt yourself, you will at least avoid Core DB corruptions when Armory fails.

Hi goatpig

I see, okay. I will do that rather.

Thank you, for your help.

Why does Armory fail, is the app too heavy or what?
