Error reading item "IMAGES" from file INCAR

#1 Post by pnita » Sun Aug 31, 2008 12:41 am

Hi,

I'm a new user to VASP. I found this error during my calculation. Here is the INCAR that I use:

general:
SYSTEM = FeCo(110)+CO
ISTART = 0
ICHARG = 2
PREC = high
LREAL = Auto

Electronic Relaxation:
ISMEAR = 1
SIGMA = 0.1
ENCUT = 400
GGA = 91

Ionic Relaxation:
EDIFFG = -0.01
IBRION = 2
ISIF = 1
NSW = 100

Spin:
ISPIN = 2
MAGMOM = 1*0 1*0 8*2.27 8*2.27

The error message is:

Error reading item 'IMAGES' from file INCAR.
p2_26351: p4_error: net_recv read: probable EOF on socket: 1
rm_l_5_17895: (1.213639) net_send: could not write to fd=6, errno = 9
rm_l_5_17895: p4_error: net_send write: -1
p6_21470: p4_error: net_recv read: probable EOF on socket: 1
rm_l_6_21471: (0.924274) net_send: could not write to fd=5, errno = 32

It is strange to me because I also use this INCAR for another calculation and it worked well. Moreover, I tested by"strings INCAR" and I can't find any hidden character.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Thank you so much.

most probably, INCAR was not copied properly to the directory on the (master) node where your job is running
