Error when run restart file in cygwin

#1 Unread post by luhputria »

Hi all,

Is there anyone here who has experienced an error when run restart file in cygwin ROMS?
previously I managed to run restart file on linux by replacing NRREC = -1 and ininame = roms_rst.nc.
When I run it in cygwin because I moved my device with Windows OS, my model experienced a blow up after several timestep when I run restart file.
when I try to compare with the same model and the input file, the difference is one simulation I stop forcely and the other one is still running, no errors occur in the timestep and location when I got error in restart file running.
Does anyone have any ideas why this problem appears in cygwin?
Thank you.

I have been running roms in cygwin for a long time, mostly for debugging small test cases when we add new physics.
You do need to be careful when an ascii character file is convert to windows, the ascii line character endings can be problematic, sometimes tabs appear (tabs are bad), etc.
there should be no difference for netcdf binary files.
So i suggest to compare the ocean.in files, rather than the netcdf files.

Well noted. Thanks John for your information.
