Hello all, I have metatranscriptome data that I have mapped to a metagenome using bowtie2 with no problem. I used samtools view to convert the output sam file to a bam file with no errors and am now trying to sort my bam files. Unfortunately, I keep getting a segmentation fault error and the core is dumped.
This is the my command line input: samtools sort FIIA01MTMAP_try2.bam FIIA01MTMAP_sorted This is the output: [bam_sort_core] merging from 107 files... Segmentation fault (core dumped) It creates 107 temporary files, but is unable to merge them into one sorted file. I am using samtools version 1.2. Also, in case this matters, my bam files are rather large ranging from 17-34 GiB. Please help.
