When that happens to me on cineca, removing all the temporary files on scratch
except the "_phprefix.phsave" directory usually works for me, as suggested on
the manual for phonon calculations.
"This mechanism allows:
1) To recover part of the ph.x calculation even if the recover file
or files are corrupted. You just remove the _phprefix.recover
files from the tmp_dir directory. You can also remove all the _ph
files and keep only the _phprefix.phsave directory.
"
But I have to admit that, nowadys, in order to avoid this error, I always
split my phonon calculations into several smaller parts that can run in the
time limit allowed by cineca.
I hope it helps.

Subject: [Pw_forum] xml_recover problem with phonon (ph.x) restart job
Ciao tutti,
I am trying to re-start a phonon calculation job on an sp6 machine (CINECA) but
I got the following error:
cannot open xml_recover file for writing
This error was reported in the past (see following link). Does anyone know how
to quickly fix this problem?
Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get version 4.05 of
Quantum-Espresso? The poster of the message below said the restart works for
version 4.05.

Vi ringrazio.
