Hi I am running 4.0.3. I wanted to test the 4fs timestep with virtual sites. I will be running a simulation with ~500K atoms.

From the manual, section 6.5: "For the hydrogens in water and in hydroxyl, sulfhydryl or amine groups, no degrees of freedom can be removed, because rotational freedom should be preserved. The only other option available to slow down these motions, is to increase the mass of the hydrogen atoms at the expense of the mass of the connected heavy atom."

Try pdb2gmx -heavyh.

When diagnosing a problem, make it simple. Processing 500,000 atoms may indeed take a long time. If you create a test case with a single water molecule and write the topology, pdb2gmx actually completes successfully, however, per the quote above, no virtual sites are generated.

I created a water box with ~500K atoms.
I then type pdb2gmx -f water.gro -o water_vsite.gro -vsite h -p topol

I get the following output at which point it hangs. I waited for about 2 hrs before killing it.
