<p>As mentioned by others above, allocate more RAM to this system.
Check the IOG specs for minimum RAM needed, I think it's 16GB now.</p>
<p>You can also increase your swap space to say 20GB as a temp work around - this is not ideal but is quick to action.
Use command <code>free -h</code> to check RAM and swap space usage.</p>
<p>Also make sure you have enough disk space on the volume where the chain is being saved. Use command <code>df -h</code></p>

As mentioned by others above, allocate more RAM to this system.
Check the IOG specs for minimum RAM needed, I think it's 16GB now.

You can also increase your swap space to say 20GB as a temp work around - this is not ideal but is quick to action.
Use command `free -h` to check RAM and swap space usage.

Also make sure you have enough disk space on the volume where the chain is being saved. Use command `df -h`
