PacBio "recalladapters" on ec2 returning .tmp

I have a ec2 instance where I'm running Pacbio's "recalladapters" command. The output is being stored on an EBS volume.

recalladapters -j 10 --minSnr=2.0 --disableAdapterCorrection --subreadset "filename.subreadset.xml" -o "/mnt/outputs/filename.recalled"

The output of my recall adapters command are:

filename.recalled.bam2bam_1.log
filename.recalled.scraps.bam.tmp
filename.recalled.subreads.bam.tmp

Why am I getting .tmp files? I don't believe the program was killed. Am I missing something?

I could run it again, but it costs money for the GPU hours so I'd like to avoid trial and error.

pacbio recalladapters aws

Is it possible my EBS isn't big enough to hold the output? I see the drive is 228/250 used, possibly just running out of space?

Situation resolved itself... just waited and it output the correct files? bewilders me

recalladapters writes .tmp files that are renamed when the command finishes. The command was still running when you saw .tmp files.
