Hello,
I am trying to analyze a small MS1-only dataset using the LC/MS (MS1) processing tool on the MetaboAnalyst website. However, every time I run the pipeline, the job stops at 4% and I get the following error message:
slurmstepd: error: Detected 1 oom-kill event(s) in StepId=24836.0.
Some of your processes may have been killed by the cgroup out-of-memory handler.
srun: error: xialab-dev: task 0: Out Of Memory
I understand that this is usually triggered to prevent jobs with very large datasets from overloading the server. However, in my case I only have 8 files, all of which upload successfully and are well within the stated size limits. Also my files are centroided.
Could you please let me know if there is something I can do to make my data compatible with the online pipeline? For example, is there a recommended way to preprocess the files before uploading, or should I consider a different pipeline if my goal is mainly to obtain chemical taxonomy / class profiles of the samples?
Thank you very much for your help!
