Hi again,

Following on from my last post, I continued running Armory again today for another 4 hours or so.

This time again it says only 22% of the way through building Armory databases with 2 minutes remaining (of course this is inaccurate as it always gives these low figures).

Same problem with it using up all the RAM and making the machine unusable.

Is there a way to lower the RAM usage level?

Thanks

Start Armory with the --db-type=DB_BARE and --ram-usage=1 options set. You will need to delete the databases folder again as it will build a new, lighter database (and thus requiring less RAM and CPU to build).

Thank you. That sounds like what I was hoping for. Here are my command line settings now:

--datadir=J:\Armory --satoshi-datadir=J:\BTC --db-type=DB_BARE --ram-usage=1

I deleted the databases folder (also deleted the log files) and restarted Armory. Unfortunately I get the following error:

---------------------------
Database Error
---------------------------
Armory failed to spawn the DB!
Continuing operations in offline mode instead.
Refer to the dbLog.txt for more information.

When I look for dbLog.txt I see that no dbLog.txt was created..
However I found this in the armorylog.txt:
