Dear Elie, 

This error is very famous one. Please read user_guide,pdf, page 56.

Again, I have to note Subject is quite different  from the content.

Bests,
Eyvaz

Dear Eyvaz and Jeff,

 

Thank you very much for your help. The reason I am doing this is that I am still trying to get the phonon dispersion but using other this new technique implemented in version 4.2 of QE. Everything is going well except that for q-0 (the Gamma point), I am getting an error

 

     from davcio : error #        20
     error while reading from file

 

The strange thing is that only for this point, I obtain such an error...I guess another guy posted that error earlier with the title Phonon calculations on the Grid. His name is shining star.   

 

Jeff, thanks for your suggestion as well. Actually i am still looking at the phono dispersion as a whole but found this technqieu which merges all files at the end and takes less time (I hope!).

 

 

Regards

I.e. if you have 12 q-points according to dyn0-file, then you can choose any combination, start_q=1, last_q=1 (usually this one is the Gamma point), or start_q=9, last_q=12 (calculate phonons for q-points from 9th to 12th), or any other combination you like (sure, last_q >= start_q).
