Hi @anya
Could you tell me how you got the error?

In my application, I just use Set, Get and Delete operations though transactions. If the disk where the badger database files are located gets full, instead of an error from I get a crash as in the stack dump above. The application does not use iterators.

I added a comment, with details on how to reproduce it, and a suggestion, on a similar issue on Github:

Basically, it is caused by writing mmap, and the idea of the solution is not to crash the runtime with SIGBUS, but recover it, and return an error.

Hi @CristianCurteanu , thanks a lot for the details! We will look into this.
