Dear Lammps Users
I have been using Lammps to simulate PbTiO3 bulk and nanoparticles under differents conditions having no problems until a few days ago using 10/10/2018 Lammps's version.
Out of nowhere (because i did't recompile Lammps) the simulations started to crash. The first one did that in the step where it had to write a restart file timestep. After that, I tried with new runs and the program load the system configuration but crashes again. I opened the dump file and the file contained no format and special characters. So is evident a problem with the MPIIO package. Because the program crashes when it has to write a dump(mpiio) or restart (mpiio) file. When I run the simulations without writting restarts or dump files, Lammps works fine,without any incovenients.
Just to be clear when I say "the program crashes" I mean that the thermo output stops being written and it keeps running indefinetely.
I have been reading trying to solve the problem but I got no answers just a similar problem sent to the mailing list (https://sourceforge.net/p/lammps/mailman/message/7171080/) with a solution that was useless to me (I tried to compile the MPIIO package with a different optimization).
It would be great some help for finding a solution.
Thank you in advance.
