zero length "registered" image??

in PixInsight
why would star alignment produce a zero length registered image file...

i used the staralignment process,with 45 calibrated, cosmetic corrected, and debayered RGB images.

they all look fine when blinked

registration properly created 44 aligned images (309MB each) but image #26 was zero length... 

it took me a few hours and several head bangs to realize what was happening. the zero length image caused image integration to fail.. integration worked fine when i removed image #26 from the input set.

suggestions welcome.

thanks

    ok... i figured out what is going on... i ran staralignment again (more than once).  the process log showed all 45 images aligned correctly, yet this time 3 (other) files were zero length...errors showed writing the file was a problem... 

    answer: DON'T USE CLOUD DRIVES FOR IMAGE PROCESSING... the synching process is randomly blocking disk writes.  when i run staralignment directly on the local drive, it all works fine.  

    hopefully, someone may find this useful.

    Yes...that sounds about right.
    Thanks for the follow up.
    (Don't use cloud drives for any files that are polled either (like cloud sensors)).
