[QE-users] Error in routine davcio (10)?

Thanks Paolo, I thought I solved this problem:  previously I had a number
of "nested" directories for each surface I wanted to relax,  i.e Surface3
was inside Surface 2, which was inside Surface 1, and Surface 1 was inside
the master directory.  For each directory, I ran relaxation calculations
using the restart setting, but all of the directories had the same prefix
for the .wfc files.

So then I moved each of these surfaces to separate directories inside the
master directory, and for each surface I assigned a unique prefix for the
.wfc files.

"Apparently the *.wfc files produced by the code when stopping cleanly for
time limit are not there."

When I tried restarting the relaxation calculations for one surface I got
the same error, *error in routine davcio (10)*.  The output file said *error
while reading from* *file* for the following files:

./SurfaceO6.wfc2,   ./SurfaceO6.wfc3 ,   ./SurfaceO6.wfc4 ,
./SurfaceO6.wfc5 ,  ./SurfaceO6.wfc6 ,     ./SurfaceO6.wfc7 ,
./SurfaceO6.wfc8,    ./SurfaceO6.wfc9,     ./SurfaceO6.wfc11 ,
./SurfaceO6.wfc13,   ./SurfaceO6.wfc15 ,  ./SurfaceO6.wfc17

But in the screenshot of this folder *all of these files are there.*


Note that saving files may take some time: if you are using a batch system,
the time limit of the batch queue must be larger than the time limit
specified in "max_seconds"

In the output file I did found:

*     Message from routine readpp:*


*     file ./SurfaceO6.save/Bi.rel-pbe-dn-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF not found
 Message from routine readpp:     file
./SurfaceO6.save/Na.rel-pbe-spn-kjpaw_psl.0.2.UPF not found*

This is accurate; I could not find these files.  So I think this is related
to an issue with saving the files.  My max_seconds is 61 hours, but the
walltime is 72 hours.   Is the batch queue the walltime?  What is a batch
system?

Thank you for your time and input.
