tsdb store: cannot allocate memory

[MythreyaK]

Trying to start the influxd server with sudo influxd (or influxd) gives
open server: open tsdb store: cannot allocate memory

Running Influx 1.5.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on WSL (Windows 10 1803). Reinstall fixed the problem, but as the database gets larger, the same issue repeats. Looking at other issues on GitHub, I wondered if it was a RAM issue, but I have over 5GB of ram (while trying to start the server), and the influxdb folder is just over 143MB.

It seems I have the same problem. After trying out influxdb in Debian Strech on WSL (Windows 10 1803) yesterday and adding some data (the database files are around 187 MB), the influxd service terminates silently after starting. The only thing I've done in the meantime is power off and reboot Windows.
When I input sudo influxd, I receive the error message run: open server: open tsdb store: cannot allocate memory, even though there should be plenty of RAM available (8 GB total).

Still getting this error. Re-installing works only for the first time, and then the issue reappears.

Still getting this error. Re-installing works only for the first time, and then the issue reappears.

Also experiencing the same. Re-installing only works one time but the issue happens again after some time.

EDIT: Just did a re-install now but still got the error. Though I didn't restart my system or anything. I'll try to re-install then restart.

EDIT2: Restarted system and re-installed. It works fine again.

Stopped running influxdb for sometime then when I tried to run it. Encountered the allocation memory issue again.

This the complete output when running sudo influxd run -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf

It turns out it's something to do with the database data. I deleted it from /var/lib/influxdb/data and ran influxdb again.
