Hi, Im running methylseq 4.2.0 on an EM-seq dataset. The pipeline keep exiting on the alignment process (NFCORE_METHYLSEQMETHYLSEQFASTQ_ALIGN_DEDUP_BISMARK:BISMARK_ALIGN) with the error exit status 140:

Feb-09 06:07:58.390 [TaskFinalizer-2] DEBUG nextflow.processor.TaskProcessor - Handling unexpected condition for
  task: name=NFCORE_METHYLSEQ:METHYLSEQ:FASTQ_ALIGN_DEDUP_BISMARK:BISMARK_ALIGN (YD-4288-4); work-dir=/crex/proj/EMseq/work/61/cf56171fa792dea0289b278cd58aa5
  error [nextflow.exception.ProcessFailedException]: Process `NFCORE_METHYLSEQ:METHYLSEQ:FASTQ_ALIGN_DEDUP_BISMARK:BISMARK_ALIGN (YD-4288-4)` terminated with an error exit status (140)

The fastq files are quite big, ~6Gb * 6 (re-sequenced x 6) * 2 (paired-end) = 70-80Gb. Is this a memory issue? Or something else? Any ideas?

exitcode

140

usually means your job ran out of time

cheers! I’ll try that
