error setting rlimit when --index

[Krannich479]

Hi, I get an error

#Monotigs and index constuction...
error setting rlimit to 1035

no matter if I run Reindeer with reads or pre-computed unitigs.

The calls are ./Reindeer --index -f <path-to-my>/fof.txt --nocount --bcalm or ./Reindeer --index -f <path-to-my>/fof_unitigs.txt --nocount respectively.

Both input files contain a single line in the style of /absolute/path/to/my/sequenes.fasta

Any ideas whats going on here?

Hi @Krannich479 REINDEER needs to open numerous files, and it seems you are restricted to a certain number on the machine you're using. You should be able to modify the open file limit with ulimit -n (which resets the limit only for your current shell). Best. C
