Error when running CESM postprocessing on Cheyenne

I am trying to run the CESM postprocessing tool to create single variable timeseries files from a fully-coupled, 1 degree CESM2 run of 100 years. The script starts running fine but after some time of generating the atmosphere files it hangs and the within the timeseries log files there are multiple instances of "NetCDF: HDF Error". I have tried enabling debugging but there is no further information about what is causing the error. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Andrew,

This package is not officially supported anymore. A couple things to try:

  1. Increase the number of processors in the timeseries script.
  2. Try generating each component one at a time.
  • set TIMESERIES_GENERATE_ALL in env_postprocess.xml to FALSE.
  • manually set tseries_create to TRUE for one component at a time
  1. As a last resort, delete the postprocess directory and recreate it. Also delete all of the existing post-processed files. Sometimes things get hung up and starting fresh can help.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the responses here and on Github. I finally found that the reason it was failing was because I had exceeded the disk quota. The errors just didn't indicate that it any way. All working now.
