Node crashing regularly caused DB to stop updating

[gamarin2]

Our JUNO node kept crashing because of a SDK bug. cosmos/cosmos-sdk#11117

In spite of that, the node displayed as SYNCED in our cluster (and apparently was). Yet, our DB stopped wasn't updating staking balance of this account for two months (missed several writes over several weeks).

Let's try to understand what happened and figure out preventing measure, if any.

Maybe related tangentially, maybe part of the same issue.

Currently happening in Osmosis (Sat 12 Feb 20:43)

• There was an error failed to write trace operation: write /trace-store/kvstore.fifo: broken pipe in the logs. This came from only 1 node at 17:26
  
• At around same time (~10 mins later), we had the last signs of life from an Osmosis TL, a bunch of parsing error messages. This was from the same pod with the broken pipe error osmosis-1
  
• Checking in the K8s cluster, all Osmosis TLs are unresponsive atm
• I speculate that osmosis-1 was the last one with a surviving TL.
• Looking online for reasons of broken pipe messages, there are 2 suggestions
  • downstream process not being able to keep up, or
  • machine reaching file system limits
