[Pw_forum] xml_recover problem with phonon (ph.x) restart job

[elbuesta at icqmail.com]

 When that happens to me on cineca, removing all the temporary files on scratch except the "_phprefix.phsave" directory usually works for me, as suggested on the manual for phonon calculations.

"This mechanism allows:

     1) To recover part of the ph.x calculation even if the recover file
        or files are corrupted. You just remove the _phprefix.recover
        files from the tmp_dir directory. You can also remove all the _ph
        files and keep only the _phprefix.phsave directory.
"

 But I have to admit that, nowadys, in order to avoid this error, I always split my phonon calculations into several smaller parts that can run in the time limit allowed by cineca.


 
I hope it helps.

Ciao tutti,



I am trying to re-start a phonon calculation job on an sp6 machine (CINECA) but I got the following error:



cannot open xml_recover file for writing




This error was reported in the past (see following link). Does anyone know how to quickly fix this problem?
Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get version 4.05 of Quantum-Espresso? The poster of the message below said the restart works for version 4.05.

Vi ringrazio.
