<div class="">Good day everyone!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m getting the error stating: “WARNING: Multiple MAKER processes have been started in the same directory.” Everything I’ve seen mentions version issues with MPICH. The difference in my situation is that my initial run ran just fine, but died because of the cluster time constraints. We’re only allowed 3 days. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">There are a bunch of .NFSLock files in the output directory. I’m guessing Maker wasn’t able to clear the locks when the jobs died? Can I safely delete those lock files? What’s the best way to handle this going forward since I can only run jobs for 3 days at a time?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks!<br class=""></div><br class=""><div id="psignature" class=""><div class="">Mark T.
