[CP2K:1607] Re: output problems

[Teodoro Laino]

Yes, I can give at least two possibilities:
1) change the default of the machine on which you are running (you can 
increase/decrease the size of the IO buffer, on almost
all machine starting from commodore64. I would suggest to get in touch 
with your system administrator for that.)
2) wait that the job is finished. At that point the buffer is released 
and you will have your file with all the bytes at the proper place.
