[Pw_forum] network problem for parallel calculations

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Dear Mithra,
by default, QE should use the current directory as temporary space.  
However, you can control this behavior busing the keyword  
outdir="/whatever/directory" in the &control namelist (check the manual  
Doc/INPUT_PW.txt !!!).

> INDIR=`pwd`
> echo $TMP    > $INDIR/tmpdir
> cd $TMP

This should work, but if $TMP is empty, than it will just use the home  
directory!

> cp $TMP/* .

are you sure copying everything to the home directory is not stalling the  
network?

best regards
