I am trying to ID BS3-crosslinked IPMS samples by pLink and I came across the following error while running flow.exe in the command line (actual error is in red at the bottom):

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

  what():         at CPepPairContainer::_WriteToFile()() Failed to write.
          at SearchEngine.cpp::_SearchEngine_Callback() in the function CFlow::Run


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

A system error message box popped saying "Searcher.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Button: "Close program". After hitting the button, the pop up goes away and nothing else happens. 

I notice that my C: drive is full because of a LIST File (named 1859383336.list) freshly generated in C:/pLink/pLink_release that is >890 GBs.
I think this must have caused the above "failure to write" error.

Back at the command line, I hit enter after the above error message and the following occurs:

The ini file is attached to this message. My sample is an IP from human cell lysis and my database is the human proteome. Is there a method to run pLINK without writing the large LIST file? Or predicting how large the LIST file would be, and breaking the file into separate parts? Thanks in advance!

I re-ran the search with one modification: run 1 sample instead of 2 samples. The search ran to completion (I guess?) and generated a report file but it did not find any identification results (#total spectra= 0, #spectra=0, #peptides=0, #proteins=0, #groups=0). A non-informative error was shown in the command line but the program seems to have ignored/bypassed it and proceeded without needing my input:

[info] Loading triple peptide parameters...
50
NO2_ProteinIDs=
val =
errors occur while loading ..
1.search:  Thu Nov 27 06:30:26 2014
Step : Copy Index Info

Could someone please help me identify what this error means and how it may have affected my search results?
Despite showing no IDs in report, which I guess is just the intermolecular contacts, I do see expected proteins in the "1.sample/search/" files that contain common and mono-linked results.

I have attached the following from this run:
latest command line messages containing the above mentioned error, log file, ini configuration file, and FDR.

Hi,

It seems that the error is caused due to the large LIST file. That's because an exhausitive mode is used for large database. May try to use open mode instead, add the following line in pLink.ini:

search_mode=1

And this mode will not generate the LIST file. See if that works.

Thanks for the informative answer. Just to clarify though, the error due to the LIST file was described in the first post. Is the error in my second post, repeated below, also due to the LIST file? The errors appear to be very different, and I did not notice a LIST file from that run, so I just wanted to confirm: 
  
[info] Loading triple peptide parameters...
50
NO2_ProteinIDs=
val =
errors occur while loading ..
1.search:  Thu Nov 27 06:30:26 2014

Thanks again!

According to the log file, this error is not of big problem, the search should have been finished successfully. 

This error happens during the generation of a pLabel file for unknown reason, which is actually used for the annotation part. So it doesn't matter, the results are just correct.
