[Pw_forum] Problem with restarting a vc-relax calculation

[Dae Kwang Jun]

Dear all,

It appears that there is a problem restarting a vc-relax calculation. The
problem happens when convergence is not achieved in the first scf cycle and
this calculation is restarted. The vc-relax calculation will proceed.
However, it will yield this error at the end of a calculation

 A final scf calculation at the relaxed structure.
 The G-vectors are recalculated for the final unit cell
 Results may differ from those at the preceding step.
....

     Error in routine read_rho_xml (1):
     dimensions do not match
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     stopping ...

I have tried using wf_collect = .true. I also used the same number of
processors for the first calculation and the restart.
I have checked the output directory and  I have also used the same
machine for the first calculation and restart.
Increasing the electron_maxstep = 200 allowed for the calculation to
complete the calculation without the need for a restart and also
without any errors.


Sincerely,

Dae Kwang Jun
