Dear Max

I see this statement in your output file:
" Parallel I/O   : no"

If you want to perform WFK reading/writing with paral_kgb=1 enabled, the use of "parallel IO" is mandatory.
But I don't understand why the code does not complain about it (there should be a message saying: MPI-IO is needed for IO with paral_kgb=1).
The message was present in previous versions of the code.
So, you MUST compile with "--enable-mpi-io" ; then the keyword accesswff will be automatically set to 1 to activate parallel-io.

I'm giving a try to Abinit-601. The compilation went fine.
But, while trying to chain SCF calculations, a bug showed
up on going from the first to the second dataset. Here is
the tail of the output with the error message:

<output>
[..]
-P-0000  hdr_check: WARNING -
-P-0000   Restart of self-consistent calculation need translated wavefunctions.
-P-0000   Indeed, critical differences between current calculation and
-P-0000   restart file have been detected in:
-P-0000         * the plane-wave cutoff
-P-0000 ===============================================================
-P-0000  leave_test : synchronization done...
kpgio: loop on k-points done in parallel
-P-0000
-P-0000  Subroutine Unknown:0:BUG
-P-0000    Reading option of rwwf. One should have npw=npw1
-P-0000   However, npw=  140, and npw1=  144.
-P-0000
-P-0000  leave_new : decision taken to exit ...
</output>


The involved routine is rwwf() in src/59_io_mpi/rwwf.F90.
I've enabled parallelization with paral_kgb=1 et didn't used
MPI I/O routine. I've attached the relevant part of my input.


Best regards,
Max
