Dear Justin, As per the suggestions in the bug, i changed the line in src/gmxlib/checkpoint.c file on the cluster:
from outputfiles[i].offset = ( ((off_t) offset_high) << 32 )| ( (off_t) offset_low ); to outputfiles[i].offset = ( ((off_t) offset_high) << 32 )| ( (off_t) offset_low & mask ); and was able to use the -append option, my command was mpiexec -np 4 /usr/local/gromacs/bin/mdrun -v -g $myjob.log -s md20.tpr -cpi state.cpt -append and this run generated another 3ns production data (from the step 2928600 - 5900000) and thus increasing the size of trr file to 4.8 GB from 2.1 GB, because my simulation is for 20ns, i submitted one more job with the same command after completing the 5.9 ns, mpiexec -np 4 /usr/local/gromacs/bin/mdrun -v -g $myjob.log -s md20.tpr -cpi state.cpt -append now again the job is starting from same step 2928600, i also tried using the command mpiexec -np 4 /usr/local/gromacs/bin/mdrun -v -g $myjob.log -s md20.tpr -cpi state_prev.cpt -append here also the output is same that is starting from 2928600 step, i want to continue the run from 5900000 step, please let me know how to proceed, do i have to generate a new .tpr file (my mdp file is defined for 20 ns and the output is md20.tpr) or can i use the same tpr file (md20.tpr) or i require to change the command to continue.. Please help.
