I'm forwarding this message to the list, I do not reply to single instances in private mode, because at least the time I spent to write this message will be useful not only to you but possibly to other people.

Let's go back and see your output:

That's correct.. you specified 5 images in your input and this is what you get in your output.

>  **  ##     ## ######### ##  #### ##     ##   Number of Replicas:          30 **

This depends on the number of your processors: the number of replicas is (tot numb procs) / (number of procs/rep) .


>  **  ##     ## ##     ## ##   ### ##     ##   Number of Procs/Rep:          4 **

This should be self-explicative...

yes.

p.s.: output files can be attached to the google list, exactly as attachments, sending an email to cp2k .AT. googlegroups.com and putting an attachment.
