[gmx-users] query about resuming a crashed mdrun

[abhisek Mondal]

Hi,
    I was running mpirun -np 1600 mdrun_mpi  -deffnm npt on a protein and
outputs were normal but the job crashed as not finished within given cpu
time.

Then I used mpirun -np 2048 mdrun_mpi -s npt.tpr -cpi npt.cpt to resume the
run from previous checkpoint. But, a whole lot of new files are being
created. I thought it would be appended in the previous files.

Previous files: npt.trr, npt.edr, npt.log, npt.cpt, npt_prev.cpt
Files generated after
resuming: state.cpt, state_prev.cpt, traj.trr, md.log, ener.edr

If I watch the md.log file, it shows DD step as if it has resumed from the
last run. Did I made any mistakes there ? Am I going to get the whole
trajectory information in parts ?

I'm using gromacs-4.6.2

Some suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
