Hi,

I am attempting a test VSCF calculation on water, with the input deck

start waterVSCF
SCRATCH_DIR /scratch/cchang/waterVSCF
MEMORY total 6000 MB

The job fails at the VSCF, with associated messages:
...

It looks like the End of File messages are error messages from elio.c ; I see there that there are some "ifdef USE_LUSTRE" statements, but there doesn't seem to be any mechanism built in to define this. Since I am running from a Lustre filesystem, could this lead to problems with something not being found? Could this be the root cause of the job abort? If not, what could be the problem?

Thanks
