Hello NAMD mailing list, I saw some similar discussions about this topic but nothing regarding this particular issue. I ran out of scratch space in the middle of a run, and the output of the log file looks like this:

WRITING COORDINATES TO DCD FILE Dec-Myr-Ole-Dag-Bilayer-mineq01i.dcd AT STEP 68801000
WRITING COORDINATES TO RESTART FILE AT STEP 68801000
FATAL ERROR: Error on write to binary file Dec-Myr-Ole-Dag-Bilayer-mineq01i.restart.coor: Disk quota exceeded
[Partition 0][Node 0] End of program

I was planning on using the Dec-Myr-Ole-Dag-Bilayer-mineq01i.restart.coor.old file to restart, since it presumably began to write the new one but didn't finish, but using the current (not .old) .vel and .xsc files. The current .xsc file shows a timestep of 68800000. Would this be the proper way to restart the simulation? Is there some way I can be certain, once it begins running, that it was restarted properly, since I'm assuming the pressure and/or temperature won't show any obvious discontinuities even if I used the wrong files? Thanks very much for the help.

Collin
