`evaluate-contigs` fails with `OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device` about q2-assembly HOT 8 CLOSED

I thought it might be related to #35 too - just sent you the error log by email.

from q2-assembly.

QUAST is downloading some reference data in the background (which I realised only recently) so we need to make it possible to just provide those as input to the action itself (I haven't checked in detail whether that's possible or not but I certainly hope it is).

It is possible - we can provide those in fasta format.

I know that this is redundant to what I posted on the forum, but responding for reference's sake. I can confirm that the alignment files are being stored in the tmp directory, and can confirm that that directory did run out of space on our cluster after ~500GB had been written to it.

Hey @gregcaporaso, I suspect this is related to #35 - QUAST is downloading some reference data in the background (which I realised only recently) so we need to make it possible to just provide those as input to the action itself (I haven't checked in detail whether that's possible or not but I certainly hope it is). Please do send the log file over, if you have it - I can have a look just to confirm whether it's this problem or something else entirely. Thanks!

Any updates? We ran into the same error today when using a tiny (4 sample) dataset.

It doesn't look like the space issue is due to downloaded references, but rather inefficiency in storing alignment files. See this and this.

Do you know whether you're running out space wherever the tmp directory is located or somewhere else? I think these are two separate issues: those alignment files should be stored in tmp (as far as I can tell) so if you're good on space there, the issue is somewhere else...

I have not seen this happen with any of our runs so I'm going to close it for now (since we don't really have any way to address it on our end anyway)
