Hello Jan,

several 100 GiB? This is the first time I hear of such dimensions in the log 
directory.

Can you please send me:

1) the first 2000 lines from the file you pipe the mira output to (e.g. for
  "mira ...alotofoptions...  >&log.assembly.txt"
then it's log_assembly.txt).

2) a "ls -l" of the log directory

Partly yes. "-OUT:rrol=yes" should remove most of the things which are not 
needed, but it should be on by default.

Many of the files in the log directory are also temporary files from which MIRA 
needs to read again, so getting rid of them completely is not possible,

That'd take too long for the temporary files. Might be an idea for the real 
logs though, I'll see what can be done.

But first I'm curious to know which files are currently getting so big in your 
project ...
