[molpro-user] 1.5TB disk usage --marshall

[Martin Diefenbach]

Michael,

if your version of molpro is linked against global arrays, perhaps you are 
running into an eaf-file size limit. You could try recompiling global 
arrays with large file support enabled, i.e., "export LARGE_FILES=yes" 
with ga-4-3-3 and older or "CFLAGS=-DLARGE_FILES" for ga-5-0 and above 
(see also pario/elio/elio.c in the global arrays source dir).

We had molpro calculations run successfully using >10TBytes of scratch 
disk using this setting.

Best wishes
Martin
