Caught signal 7 (Bus error: <unknown si_code>)
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2025 4:40 pm
Hello,
I'm posting in this section because I am unsure whether it is more appropriate to post here or in the bug reports.
I caught this message which led to the job termination, and I am wondering whether this is an error of the HPC cluster or of VASP. I have attached the related input and output files as well. The error specified in the slurm output file is specifically at around line 5780. Thank you for your time!
