Hi,
Looks that the file is in your local home directory. All nodes you want to
run must have the same file under the same path, are you sure that every
node has your home directory or how do you manage that?? Try to use a volume
that can be reached by all nodes, something like a nfs share. You can check
this by logging on to the nodes and try to access the file.
Let me know
Norman Geist.

Thanks so much for the reply.
Yes, in the log file, the error I got is when namd2 was trying to read the
file step6.1_equilibration.dihe.
Info: READING EXTRA BONDS FILE
/home/he.yi/simulation/explict/dmpc/equlibrate/flat/namd/restraints/step6.1_
equilibration.dihe
FATAL ERROR: BUFFER OVERRUN - buffer=**
Which is fine when I looked at this file.
Also this error will not appear if I ran namd2 using single node.
Bests,
Yi

Also, send the log file output. It's rather hard to diagnose with just
"BUFFER OVERRUN." If there's no log file output, then send the job
scheduler output and error file, if any.
Best,
Chris
