Re: [AMBER] How to read mdinfo file without crashing the simulation?

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, and the file system is ext4. We're using quota.

I don't have any problem with the "ls -l mdinfo". I'm the owner of this
file, I (theoretically) can read it or change it. The file is present with
a non-zero length and I can read it using "cat mdinfo" command.

It looks OK, I guess:

 NSTEP = 950000 TIME(PS) = 52980.000 TEMP(K) = 298.41 PRESS =
0.0
 Etot = -140475.4219 EKtot = 36982.3438 EPtot =
-177457.7657
 BOND = 1208.0342 ANGLE = 3085.0042 DIHED =
5565.0947
 1-4 NB = 1290.0424 1-4 EEL = 12081.5006 VDWAALS =
21022.0260
 EELEC = -221794.1217 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 EAMD_BOOST = 84.6540

This issue does not depend on the type of MD simulation I run - it happens
during classical MD and aMD.
I rerun the same job using the CPU, typed "tail -f mdinfo" and nothing
happened. The simulation is running.
Could it be a problem with pmemd.cuda?
I've ran a simulation on a cluster without PBS (on CPU and GPU) and...
everything worked. I don't get it.

Best regards.
