Hi,

While I was running a query today, I got this error today -

Allocation failed
GDKmallocmax: failed for 18446744072964793488 bytes

I ignored it thinking it was some runtime error and repeatedly tried to run the same query 3 or 4 times. Finally, mclient got crashed.

I tried to reconnect to mclient, but it was not successful. So I tried restarting the database, only to find that the database has already been shut down.

When I tried starting the database, I am receiving this error -

starting database 'testDB'... FAILED
start: starting 'testDB' failed: database 'testDB' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints

I tried after restarting the demon multiple times, but no use.

I checked merovingian.log file in the db farm folder, but it showed only this -

2015-02-04 05:59:50 ERR control[7829]: (local): failed to fork mserver: database 'testDB' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints

I tried to check the monetdbd's log file, but I am unable to find the log folder in var.

Has the database crashed irrecoverably? How to run MonetDB again with at least a new database??

Any help much appreciated.

P.S.: I run MonetDB Oct2014-SP1 version in a CentOS machine with 128 GB RAM.

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay.
