[QUOTE="brettgrant99, post: 225071"] Its the nature of the simulation work and initial conditions. One set of initial conditions produces a 2d slice of information in a 6 dimensional space, so we simulate a lot. In order to do this we run using gridware (macs are our newest machines - we started out with gridware, but are considering xgrid) and if we run multiple initial conditions in a directory it causes some file writing issues. BTW - thats 30000 on one mac network. I have another mac network that is smaller that has something like 5000 directories, and a sun network, and a network of dual-processor opterons, and a network of quad-processor opterons, and a network of dual-xeon boxes. Over 100k directories total. Each directory has between 10 and 50k files, although we can clean up the directories in a postprocessing step. This eats up the inodes fast. :black: Brett [/QUOTE]
