Hi Bastien, I hope you find this bug report useful. We are running mira 3.9.4 on a Dell R910 server (Centos, IIRC) with 1 TB RAM, 64 cores, 10 TB disk space, and no NFS disks. One of my students reported a crash while assembling a 5 mb prokaryote genome. I got him to repeat it and the same thing happened. I have snipped some of the 'head' and 'tail' of the assembly log, and can make the log available to email back-channel (It's only 27 K). I have also attached the manifest file. The log and checkpoint directories are intact - I can zip them up and put them on a shared dropbox folder if needed. The student has successfully assembled about 25 other bacterial genomes with mira, so he pretty much knows his way around the process, therefore I would discount user error. At the time, we had plenty of RAM and processors free as we limit our jobs to avoid clogging the beast. We run a bit of a mira factory so we are aware of clogging up our computer with mira jobs. Usually we only run 2-3 mira jobs at a time on that server. So hopefully running too many mira jobs is not the cause of the crash. I'll also get him to repeat the assembly with one processor, as I recall something like this from the recent past - is this your elusive randomly occuring SKIM bug? cheers, John <---- manifest # Manifest file: Bergen_mirahybrid.manifest project = Bergen_mirahybrid job = genome, denovo, accurate parameters = COMMON_SETTINGS -GE:kpmf=15:not=10 -MI:somrnl=0 parameters = 454_SETTINGS -ED:ace=1 readgroup = Bergen-454Reads data = Bergen_mirahybrid_in.454.fastq technology = 454 <---- head from the log This is MIRA 3.9.4 ().
