Hi!

I'm having some trouble understanding the ERROR I'm receiving. Recently
I've set up a new machine to work annotate a genome (around 2 Gb big) using
Maker. We mounted a new disk of 1Tb and loaded there the files of a
uncomplete run of annotation (we started it in a different machine and move
it to this one, which had more precessing power). Apparently everything was
ok, until somewhen yesterday we received the next ERROR:

examining contents of the fasta file and run log
> ERROR: could not make datastore directory
> --> rank=NA, hostname=Planarian2
> ERROR: Failed while examining contents of the fasta file and run log
> ERROR: Chunk failed at level:0, tier_type:0
> FAILED CONTIG:Contig4633


We are running 16 jobs of maker at the same time, on the unsplitted genome.

We checked and "df" command returned that only 7% os the mounted disk was
used. So the space does not appear to be the problem... Why that error then?

Thanks for the help.
