[Pw_forum] network problem for parallel calculations

[Mithra Chan]

Dear Lorenzo,

Thanks for you suggestion. I think that would not work. Because the job is
distributed randomly, I do not know which node it will lated at. I tried by
setting outdir='./' and coy the INPUT file to $TMP then run it locally. In
this case it write files locally, but I got an error which says "from davcio
: error #        10  error while writing to file".

Best regards,

Mithra Chan
