[Pw_forum] Temporary directory supposedly non existent or not writable

[Duy Le]

Hi,
It seems like pw.x was looking for /work/scadars/espresso_tmp/jobID/, so
make sure that you create this directory "jobID"
If you are running parrallel, you also need to make sure this directory is
reachable by all nodes.
Best,
