[CP2K:2077] File numbering for CELL_OPT runs restarts

[Teodoro Laino]

Hi,

I was creating a test case and mine was working.
Please, create you one which runs fast enough (possibly using FIST) and 
post it here.
Then I will have another look into it.

Thanks
Teo

>>> Meanwhile, I will ask you directly what I wanted to know (the reason why I asked for the group's subscription). I'm doing a DFT cell optimization on some metal-vanadium oxyde crystals (around 260 atoms). As this is a large system and I have a limited calculation time on my calculus center, I must do several restarts until cell optimization is completed. During this process, CP2K will write the outputs for every geometry optimization on each cell optimization step, and it will give them numbers, as MyProject-GEO_OPT-1.out, MyProject-GEO_OPT-2.out, and so forth. This is my problem: when I do the restart, CP2K will restart these numbers too, appending to the already existent files instead of writing new ones with the numbers starting where they have left. I would much rather have it continuing the numbering so as to preserve the sequence on the optimization process.
>>>
>>> I already tried with RESTART_COUNTERS F, but it's not working (this keyword is intended only for MD runs, not GEO_OPT, I guess). So, is there a way in which I can get CP2K to continue the numbering of the GEO-OPT output files during cell optimization? Otherwise I will have to move these files to another folder and/or renaming by hand each time I do a restart... That would be very annoying...

I will ask my calculus center admins to see if they can solve it.
