Dear Gromacs, I run Gromacs on our cluster, and use this command to continue my run from last checkpoint. gmx mdrun -deffnm md_0_1 -cpi -append
Each new run will generate four log files: md_0_1.e<job_ID> md_0_1.o<job_ID> md_0_1.pe<job_ID> md_0_1.po<job_ID> Gradually, I have thousands of log files. So I used these commands to delete all of them in one go, : rm md_0_1.e* rm md_0_1.o* rm md_0_1.pe* rm md_0_1.po* I thought the checkpoint information is only stored in md_0_1.cpt, md_0_1_prev.cpt and some files like md_0_1_step47660830.cpt, which I did not delete. However, after deleting all the log files, and then started a new run, I was told: Fatal error: File appending requested, but 1 of the 4 output files are not present or are named differently So it seems that the checkpoint information is also in one of those md_0_1.e<job_ID>, md_0_1.o<job_ID>, md_0_1.pe<job_ID>, md_0_1.po<job_ID> files?
