GATK: unable to write data to BAM schedule file

[bjchen]

Hi,

I am trying to use UnifiedGenotyper in GATK, but encountered the following error message (below). Does anyone know how to deal with this? I check my quota on the directory of the bam file and I still have enough space.

Thanks!

ps. I do this with multiple jobs on a cluster and some jobs would get stuck with this error messages.

Doesn't "No space left on device" means pretty much like what it looks like?

Uh... I have about 500G on the drive where I have GATK and my bam files. Each of my bam file is only about 1G. So I don't think that drive does not have enough space (please correct me if I am wrong). But I suspect the program utilizes some other drive for temporary files. So I am wondering if there is any way I can get around this.

Thanks.

This is actually an issue with JVM (if it is true your temp space is located in a spot where there is no free space). Try this:

java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/temp/ [and then the resets of the command] where /temp is whatever spot you want to write temp files.

Setting -Djava.io.tmpdir seems to work! Thanks a lot!!

I've also hit this when ulimit is exhausted with GATK, so not always
