Error in IR calculation


Clicked A Few Times
Hello everyone.

I am trying to run a job for IR spectra of my system. But job terminates after creating the huge files and gives the following error:


       Quadratically convergent ROHF

Convergence threshold     :          1.000E-06
Maximum no. of iterations : 30

The space allocated on the workstation for me is 20Gb and the files are occupying more than 24 Gb. So kindly guide me how can i solve this problem. Input file is following


echo
start zno24

use direct SCF
You are either running of disk space or getting a disk error.
Switching to direct SCF will circumvent the problem

scf
