[molpro-user] {SPAM}? Writew error

Shenggang.

The only time I have seen such errors have been in relation to disk
space. Just to check, does Molpro actually use the file system which is
2TB in size (you can see the location of the scratch directories at the
top of the output). Sometimes, especially on lustre file systems, PBS is
configured to set TMPDIR to a local, but small, tmp directory and one
must manually specify the lustre if desired.

Please could you post the input file and I will try to run locally.

Best wishes,

Andy
