Dear all,

I am trying to optimize the geometry and calculate the frecuencies for my molecule and I get the error:

  movecs_write: failed to open ./ab1_AR_D_0617.movecs
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 dft_scf: movec_write failed                   0
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  current input line :
   151: task dft optimize
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 An error occured while trying to read or write to disk space
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 For more information see the NWChem manual at https://github.com/nwchemgit/nwchem/wiki


 For further details see manual section:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI COMMUNICATOR 3 DUP FROM 0
with errorcode -1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.




My input file is:

I could not spot any problem in this input file.
The error
movecs_write: failed to open ./ab1_AR_D_0617.movecs
could be due to I/O problems. For example:
- two different jobs trying to use the file ab1_AR_D_0617.movecs,
- the file-system where the ile ab1_AR_D_0617.movecs is located is full or it is experiencing hardware problems
