How to decompress the nr database from NCBI

Question

[albagg1396]

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded the NR database from NCBI databases to perform a local alignment using the update_blastdb.pl script and trying at the same time to decompress the files generated during the downloaded. This is the output:

perl update_blastdb.pl --decompress nr

The problem is that during the decompression process I've obtained several errors related to the line 412 of the script, but I don't know indeed which is the mistake.

Thank you. Alba

Do you have enough local disk space available? nr requires 300G+ as I recall. Since the first 24 files decompressed fine most likely cause is related to storage.
