Proovread terminated with error

I run proovread with following command

perl proove/proovread/bin/proovread -l Lang_flnc.fasta.CDHIT.fasta -s normalized.fastq -o re

After running for 5 days, it terminated with the following error.

Reading normalized.fastq
Killed
[E::sam_parse1] incomplete aux field
[W::sam_read1] parse error at line 185663450
[main_samview] truncated file.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

proovread bwa

This looks like a out-of-memory error. How much memory is available, what is the organism and how many threads have been used?

Thanks for the comment. My command looks like this

   perl proove/proovread/bin/proovread -l Lang_flnc.fasta.CDHIT.fasta -s normalized.fastq -o re

I have enough memory too.

How much memory is available, what is the organism and how many threads have been used?

You did not answer any of it. This error always occurred to me when I was out-of-memory, that is why I am asking. BWA can be pretty RAM-hungry at times. With 16-32 threads at times 60GB was not enough.

Sorry. I used 17 million reads from a non-model plant. I have 70 GB with 8 threads.
