String error always at the nbead 13: 'movecs converged: error reading file'

Hello I am resubmitting this error (the third time) since I have tried all the various options. the error is simple I start string calculations (either two structures or three) in two step method: first keeping the end points frozen for 10 beads and then relaxing them for the next 20 beads. The first part with ten beads went fine with no issues ....it gave me error when it wanted to start with the relaxed string options: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ movecs_converged: error reading file 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ current input line : 101: task dft string ignore ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ An error occured while trying to read or write to disk space ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This error is persistent: if I start a fresh job, or restart it .....and recently with first step having nbeads 20 The most interesting part is that it always gives this error when running bead 13 as the error suggests it night be an issue with the disk space But I have asked the IT help people in my institute about the disk space issue and they say there is no issue of space limit in my scratch and they also tried to run the same job with different set ups and got the same error please suggest if it is a bug or if I am doing something wrong in the input architecture ? please this is really important Pansy

Pansy Could you please have a look at your output file and see if you find the string "linear dependencies" Thanks
