[gmx-users] Job crash: checkpoint file

[Shi, Chuanyin]

I am having exactly the same problem recently.
The replica exchange job stops around 11000 steps.
Switch to another cluster and the job is running fine.
I wonder how often you've seen this type of crashing and any solutions for this?
Thanks.

I've seen this happen when our filesystem blips.  It seems like you're able to
run your job, so I don't think there's anything to do about it, except perhaps
inquire with your sysadmins about the stability of the filesystem, and whether
or not you can expect to have this happen frequently.
