Hi, we use Lustre too and it doesn't cause any problem. I found this message on the Lustre list: http://lists.lustre.org/pipermail/lustre-discuss/2008-May/007366.html And according to your mount output, lustre on your machine is not mounted with the flock or localflock option. This seems to be th

Hi all, What Roland said is right! the lustre system causes the problem of "lock". Now I copy all the files to a folder of /tmp, then run the continuation. It works! Thanks! regards, $于 2010-11-26 22:53, Florian Dommert 写道: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 To make things sho

Hi Baofu, could you provide more information about the file system? The command "mount" provides the file system used. If it is a network-file-system than the operating system and file system used on the file server is also of interest. Roland On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 11:00 AM, Baofu Qiao wrote:

Hi Roland, Thanks a lot! OS: Scientific Linux 5.5. But the system to store data is called as WORKSPACE, different from the regular hardware system. Maybe this is the reason. I'll try what you suggest! regards, Baofu Qiao On 11/26/2010 04:07 PM, Roland Schulz wrote: > Baofu, > > what operating

Baofu, what operating system are you using? On what file system do you try to store the log file? The error (should) mean that the file system you use doesn't support locking of files. Try to store the log file on some other file system. If you want you can still store the (large) trajectory files

Hi Carsten, Thanks for your suggestion! But because my simulation will be run for about 200ns, 10ns per day(24 hours is the maximum duration for one single job on the Cluster I am using), which will generate about 20 trajectories! Can anyone find the reason causing such error? regards, Baofu Qia

Hi, as a workaround you could run with -noappend and later concatenate the output files. Then you should have no problems with locking. Carsten On Nov 25, 2010, at 9:43 PM, Baofu Qiao wrote: > Hi all, > > I just recompiled GMX4.0.7. Such error doesn't occur. But 4.0.7 is about 30% > slower t
