BFAST index, not understand warnings

[zhanxw]

Hello,

I want to created index files in color space from NCBI build 36 in color space.
Here is my command
`which time` bfast index -f NCBI36.fa -n 8 -w 14 -i 1 -A 1 -m 1111111111111111111111

Then I got warning like "startContig was less than zero.", "endContig was greater than the number of contigs in the reference genome.". But I am sure I am using the same FASTA reference genome file. So is there anything I should do for these warnings? And is anyone have experience about how long it takes to build this index file?

You can ignore the warnings if you didn't specify the "-s" or "-e" options. Each index takes about 4-5 hours to build (8 threads).
