Bfast Fatal Error during indexing

[nilshomer]

Do you have a test case? Give me a FASTA and detail your environment (OS, machine, bfast version).

+1, same error for me as well.

Tested both extended_CFLAGS="-m64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" and the patch without any success .

What could I do to help you find a solution Nils?

[nilshomer]

I would LOVE to get a test case so that I can reproduce. Until then, I have to keep guessing.

Could you try to apply this change?

Nils,
I am getting the exact same error

Were you guys ever able to find out what the deal was with this one? I also have a 64 bit system with 2Tb disk space.

Thanks for the reply.
I changed the configuration file and recompiled the source.

Unoftunately it did not help. still getting the following error:

I can't replicate your error, so unfortunately I cannot debug. Could you try it on a different computer and see if you can replicate?

In "configure.ac" in the source directory, try changing the following line

extended_CFLAGS="";# "-m64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64";

to

extended_CFLAGS="-m64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64";

You then probably need to re-run "bfast fasta2brg".

Hi,

I am trying to index a fastafile with the human genome (build GRCh37, only chromosomes + MT) using bfast. In color space.
I am using version 0.6.4f. As a guildeline I use secion 8.1.2 from the manual.

Converting the reads to fastq and making both the color space and letter space brg files work without any trouble.

However when I want to make the indexes the program grinds to a halt.

The command I use:

bfast index -f human.fasta -m 1111111111111111111111 -w 14 -i 1 -A 1 -T /tmp/

So human.fasta is my reference genome. and the files human.fasta.cs.brg and human.fasta.nt.brg have been generated.

The output:

So it works, but as soon when the index should be written to disk it fails. THis happens after around 24 hours.

I have tried to check if something is wrong with the harddisk, an no fsck dont gives any problems. And I can create a large file with other programs.

The output file human.fasta.cs.1.1.bif is generated, however has zero length.
