forrtl: File too large forrtl: severe (38): error during write

hello,

i use a code (i didn't write it) ported to linux using IFC 8.1. i compiled it and run it several times in different linux machines before. now i compiled it with ifort 11.1 in a ubuntu 9 2.6.28-15-generic but when i run it i get:

forrtl: File too large
forrtl: severe (38): error during write, unit 6, file stdout

i am redirecting the output to a log file, which i guess gets too large. but as i run it before without problems, i wonder if there's a compiler option to change? or is this a linux related issue?

i don't want to fiddle too much in the source codes, ancient and tricky pieces from VMS times...

many thanks for any help,
paula

We've seen that some Linux distros have limits on file sizes. I don't know the details - perhaps someone else reading here will.

First thing first: if you are in NFS or other workspace or cluster etc (i.e. resources used by many people), are you sure there is no disk space usage quota and you exhausted that?
Actually, I found it an important constraint from my experience as an NFS user.

guess you're right. the same code doesn't crash on the mac (same ifort version)
