Building Hash Table... never ends

[Innocent-L]

Hi,
I tried to use NOVO for the assembly of the primate mitochondrial genome，
I follow all the instructions， but it doesn't seem to work properly.
Can you help?
run command：
perl /home/zl/software/NOVOplasty-master/NOVOPlasty4.3.1.pl -c config.txt
config.txt:
Project:

Project name = FJ559

The output log has always been：

Scan reference sequence......OK

It's been 6 days
Thanks

You probaply ran out of memory, most systems will kill the script, but seems some just keep it hanging
6 days is very long, should be between few minutes to few hours depending on the size.
If you have a machine with limited memory, best to use the max memory option, make sure you give a value bit below the max available on your machine. It will subsample the dataset, but this ok WGS dataset usually have way too much coverage anyway...
