This fix is not better it indicates success on exit.
After this PR, It print two red marked lines to let user know error happened. as below: error 2021-12-08T02:34:32.713 thread-0 controller.cpp:531 startup ] db storage not configured to have enough storage for the provided snapshot, please increase and retry snapshot error 2021-12-08T02:34:32.713 thread-0 controller.cpp:539 startup ] Failed initialization from snapshot
The final line says nodeos successfully exiting just let user know it is not crashed. info 2021-12-08T02:34:32.715 thread-0 main.cpp:179 main ] nodeos successfully exiting
I think for most people and most company, a crashed-like end is not recommend. @nksanthosh please make decision we will have this PR or not.

@heifner - can you elaborate what you are suggesting here? (exit with a non zero error code? or something else?)

The reported issue was that all that was reported was bad alloc. The actual error was indicated before the bad alloc error. All I think we need to do is change nodeos main.cpp catch of boost::interprocess::bad_alloc to indicate that the likely issue is chainbase exhaustion and to look for previously reported errors.
We still want nodeos to return BAD_ALLOC return code 1 in this case.
