Hi,

See TTree::ChangeFile which may be triggered in your case. You may have to increase increase the default limit

   TTree::SetMaxTreeSize(very_large_number); or allocate the TFile on the stack reather than heap.

Cheers,
Philippe.

Subject: [ROOT]TFile crash in ~TFile

I get a segmentation violation in ~TFile as it is trying to close my file. The trace back is below.

The line pointed to in my code is 985. However, the error appears to not during |write| but when the TFile is destroyed on leave this scope at the "}".

Other identical jobs run fine. This is the largest data set processed. It worked previously; here I've just added a few more items to output n-tuple for a total of 32. There are 47G available where it's being written which should be plenty and in any case it's seg violation not a out of space error.

Any ideas?

-Thanks, Art S.

code snip:

    for(Int_t i=0; i<nHist; i++) {

      if(h[i]==0) continue;
      h[i]->Write();
     }

    //write out the n-tuple
    tup->write();                    <---line 985
}
