Thanks Peter and Evan, I had just 270GB on home and log files generated exceeded this. So I had to run it on NFS mount (3TB ), for which I got the warning that it wud reduce the speed by factor of 10. It has already been 4 days and yet the program is in Pass 1. I have 454 data with avg size 380, input 8 million reads, how much faster wd running on home|headnode have been? If i can get an estimate, we cd consider adding 1 tb to headnode, if that wd really make it work faster. As far as I have been observing it, though given an option for 30 processors, it had just used 25 for skim, for rest , it has been using max 1 processor and 25-65 % RAM, if thats the status, How should running on head node make a difference to speed and if it does by what time can i expect my assembly to complete.
