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.


Regards,
Ganga Jeena
