I think you can specify multiple scratch directo= ries byt having multiple RWF files. Try adding something similar to your in= put file

%rwf=3D/scratch-dir/file1.rwf, 1900MB, /scratch-dir/f= ile2.rwf, 1900MB, /scratch-dir/file3.rwf,1900MB

I= n this example, 1900MB * 3 =3D 5,700 MB of scratch space is used.

Not sure what SLURM is, but as long as you have read/write= permission in a directory you can use as scratch, this should work. Else, = contact your local IT Gods.

Hello,

I have a fairly big molecule, the structure of which I would like to optimi= se in Gaussian 16.03. The calculation crashes with the error message "= Not enough space in DoCrtU". It does not mention memory, so I guess th= is refers to disk space instead of RAM memory. How can I specify another sc= ratch directory? Do I need to give a certain amount of disk space when I su= bmit the job through SLURM?

Best regards,
Maria Dimitrova
