Sox error in linux

Hi folks,

 

First let me say that I really appreciate the dedication of Chris and others on this list who take so much time to answer questions and make sox a truly excellent program.

 

I use sox as part of a transcode script. I feed it a direct pipe from ffmpeg and have it run a number of filters on lecture audio. The command below works fine on 3 out of four boxes, but the fourth spits out an error in the log:

 

sox FAIL norm: error writing temporary file: No space left on device

 

Sox command: '/usr/bin/nice -n19 sox -q -t raw -s -2 -c1 -r48000 - -t wav \'{cleantitle}_{shortdate}-cmp.wav\' pad 7 highpass 10 highpass 115 lowpass 16000 norm compand 0.01,1,0.01,0.0 3:-50,-100,-40,-40,-32,-24,-4,-6,-2,-5,0,-4 0 norm'

 

 

Can anyone tell me why I might be seeing this error on 1 box out of 4? The working directory is on a volume with 40 gigs of space, and these files are 300 megs uncompressed. The systems all have 1GB ram and swapfiles. Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks

I suspect sox by default will use /tmp and not your working directory for the temporary files. /tmp might be more limited in space. You can use the --temp parameter to specify the location of the temporary files.

Thanks Doug--That was it exactly....
