Justin, as far as I realized, the next log file starts at 0ps what would
mean that it is re-starting for some reason. At first, I imagined that it
was only splitting the data among files due to some kind of size limit, as
you said, but when I tried to concatenate the trajectories, it gives me a
non-sense output, with a lot of 'beginnings'.
I will check with the cluster experts if there is some kind of size
limit.It seems to be the most logical source of the problem to me.
Mark, the only difference this time is the time-scale set since the
beginning. Apart from the protein itself, even the .mdp files were copied
from a sucessful folder.
But thank you both for the support.
