Just a short post for all of the witnesses panicking right now.
IF YOUR WITNESS HAS NOT CRASHED, BUT YOU'RE STILL MISSING BLOCKS, IT'S NORMAL. Check out the witness-blocks channel on steemit.chat and you'll see tons of witnesses are now missing blocks. Seems HF19 is not a smooth upgrade. No known fix, but seems to be improving over time (possibly just a hiccup near launch time).
If you got something like this in your logs, and now your witness is dead:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::interprocess::bad_alloc'
what(): boost::interprocess::bad_alloc
Aborted (core dumped)
You need to increase your shared memory file to 10GB instead of 8GB.
shared-file-size = 10G
Remember to make sure you have enough RAM for this!
Don't forget to increase your /dev/shm
If using steem-in-a-box
./run.sh shm_size 10G
