As some guidelines,
1. Try to use XTC in first place; avoid using TRR unless for some 
specific calculation.
2. Having a lot of disk space doesn't mean the latency is short and data 
integrity is guaranteed. Check network traffic status if you are using 
network file system like NFS.
3. Restart and continue simulation for every 1ns.
