Dear Drs,

When i start a parallel job on the 4 nodes pc cluster using the command:

mpiexec -n 8 pw.x -npool 4 <zno-pw.inp>zno-pw.out &

The following error information is given:

[root at node01 7.05]# ############################################################
############################################################
# UNRECOVERABLE ERROR (ierr=-1)
# ERROR IN: iotk_scan_dat (iotk_dat.spp:723)
# CVS Revision: 1.3
# Dat not found
name=PSEUDO_DIR
################################################################################
########################################
aborting job:

while the following command is OK:
mpiexec -n 4 pw.x -npool 2 <zno-pw.inp>zno-pw.out &

    The version of code is the newest PWSCF-3.2. However, the old version 3.1 can
run correctly by using both the above commands to start the job. I donnt know
why.
    I am waiting for your help.
    Best wishes.

                                         Shujun Hu
