Hi, all
I met a strange error when trying to run a LAMMPS job. The log file is empty until i kill it, then log file just give this message:“scanning the data file”. It seems lammps was hanging while reading data file. But I checked my data file and i find no errors except that my system was larger than my previous jobs which run well.
Could anyone provide some suggestions? Thanks in advance!

it is still most likely that the problem is with the data file.
it could just be that the numbers in the header are not correct.
however, it is difficult to make suggestions without knowing how
the file was generated. you could try some other method to read
the data file, e.g. with the topotools plugin in VMD.
the next thing you can try are using debugging tools like
strace or a debugger to find out exactly where it is stalling.
