open-new-file problem with Gaussian

[Shaji Chempath <shaji<<at>>berkeley.edu>]

 Hi, CCLers
 I am running my gaussian jobs an a cluster (g03 on Linux 2.4.18-14smp)
many of my runs now are stopping with open-new-file written at the end
 of file.
 A sample of gaussian output is given here (last two lines)
 -------------------------------------------------
 fname=/scr/shaji/Gau-29993.d2e fd = -1
 open-new-file
 -------------------------------------------------
but this happens with almost 50% of my gaussian jobs, with all kinds
 of
 runs (optimization, frequency... ). They usually runs for a day and
 then
 dies. This did not use to happen before. I have been using G03 for 6
 months, but the problems started last month. So it is not something
 with
 gaussian itself, but maybe something to do with NFS file handling, or
 something else with the linux cluster..
 If anybody has seen this before and solved it please let me know
 Thanks a lot
 Shaji
