[Pw_forum] Is restart of phonon calculations reliable?

[Bipul Rakshit]

yes u can use recover option to restart and it gives the same result, as yr
continuous job.

recover generally restart the calculation from the last scf step, but
sometime it shows some error. So it is always better to start the
calculation from the beginning of scf steps. To do this just type

rm OUT/_ph*

where OUT is your directory, where your output data's are stored. (outdir =
'./OUT',)

Remember just remove the files not the whole directory
