Description
Description of the bug
I'm running a bash script (attached below) and SPAdes and Trinity keep running out of space (html of latest run attached below). I changed the configs to what I believe to be enough CPUs and memory for SPAdes (according to SPAdes documentation), but it keeps failing I'm checking the latest run slurm output, and still getting the same error (attached)
Are there higher versions of than 1.2? (I'm looking at the system information below).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached slurm_output.zip and pipeline_info.zip, then inspect nextflow.config.zip and nf_denovo_transcript.sh.zip alongside the reported command. Compare the SPAdes and Trinity failures with the configured --max_memory, --max_cpus, and Slurm resources; done means identifying the cause of the space failures and documenting actionable configuration or system requirements.
