Not specific to gossip. I had problems with both stfry and khatru. It's usually at runtime, when initializing the DB it complains of "out of memory" (i suspect it is actually complaining of low disk space). I'ts usually solvable by lowering the size limit for the DB. (strfry has a param for that, but in kathru i had to fork and change the source).
I haven't tried gossip in arm yet, i'll try it tomorrow and if i run into troubles, i 'll post an issue.
Ah yes. You have to tell it how big the database might eventually become ... a max size... when you create it. If you don't have that much space it would fail.
it doesn't fail on linux-amd64 though. But it fails in other platforms.
Has something to do with sparse file support I'm guessing.
We use 24GB. I could make a launch option to set it smaller I suppose.
