Kraken Build Custom Database

It has been almost 3 days that it is at step1 of kraken

Creating k-mer set (step 1 of 6)
Found jellyfish v1.1.10
Hash size not specified, using 18937420000

The path for database is in external hard disk

Although no error reported but is there anything wrong that I might be doing I have my server with 128 GB memory and 1TB space in hard disk It is already consuming around 107 GB I have also specified threads=20

Is there something else I should do?

kraken build custom database

It takes usually, maybe mostly, longggg time, and 128 GB and 1 TB will not be sufficient based on my experience. Instead of that, you can use standard kraken database.
