Hello Ralph,
If data loss is not a concern try to delete sql logs (/mnt/monetdb/census/sql_logs/sql/log.990 etc). You will loose some data but the database will hopefully start up.
Before loading again check available disk space. In our case it is the most usual cause of crashes.
Good luck,
Radovan

Hi,

I've tried to load a good chunk of the Internet census into our MonetDB
- about 100M rows. Although the import scripts completed, it seems it
shot down Monet:

2013-08-28 04:10:35 MSG merovingian[9857]: database 'census' (10773) was
killed by signal SIGBUS
2013-08-28 10:47:59 MSG merovingian[9857]: database 'census' has crashed
after start on 2013-08-28 01:14:07, attempting restart, up min/avg/max:
4m/4d/3w, crash average: 1.00 0.10 0.03 (8-7=1)

This is then followed by

2013-08-28 10:48:32 MSG census[19161]: # still reading write-ahead log
"/mnt/monetdb/census/sql_logs/sql/log.990" (0% done)
[...]
2013-08-28 10:53:12 MSG census[19161]: # still reading write-ahead log
"/mnt/monetdb/census/sql_logs/sql/log.990" (4% done)
2013-08-28 10:53:34 MSG merovingian[9857]: database 'census' (19161) has
crashed (dumped core)

Restarting it, yielded the same results for a few times. Once or twice
it got to 35% in the WAL

2013-08-28 15:34:27 MSG census[14420]: # still reading write-ahead log
"/mnt/monetdb/census/sql_logs/sql/log.990" (35% done)
2013-08-28 15:34:59 MSG merovingian[9857]: database 'census' (14420) has

monetdbd's logfile for details

4m/4d/3w, crash average: 1.00 0.90 0.30 (16-7=9)

Since then, it won't start (I don't know what caused the client error BTW).

Data loss is not a concern, but we'd sure like to know if this can be
fixed or if we should start looking at another DB...

Thanks for any help,
Ralph
