[mira_talk] Re: Could not create new snapshot directory? Disk full? changed permissions?

Dear Bastien, dear "bioinfo" friends,

I got the same error running mira 3.9.4 with similar conditions as previously 
reported (mapping genome (454+Illu+PacBio+IonTor), HDD not mounted, lots of 
free space).

One warning got my attention though.Just before the exit error I got this:
"Could not create directory 
'18b_hybrid_assembly_1_assembly/18b_hybrid_assembly_1_d_chkpt'.: Cannot allocate 
memory"

This was the only instance of "Cannot allocate memory" in the log file.
Following in the log was the "Memory self assessment" and then exit (see below) 
.
As the RAM was not sufficient for mira the computer was swapping a lot (over 30%). The 
"amm" was on and "kpmf=5".

Has anybody else also got the same "Cannot allocate memory" before "Could not create 
new snapshot directory? Disk full? changed permissions?"?


All the best,
Andrej Benjak
