Yes you are right.
reduce_io shouldn't be used anymore in ph.x  input

sorry are you still talking of ph.x with grid as in the beginning of the thread or ph.x in general ?
I guess (maybe, I wrong about it) it is for both cases, as the wfcs and bands computed when ph.x calls pw.x, data necessary for perturbation, are not saved in disk (in /scratch/_ph0/), nor in RAM (or maybe, it is in the RAM, but the codes looks for data in disk).

I don't know whether the fact that the restart does not work with reduce_io = .true. may be considered as a bug or as a feature.
But as it is, I guess there is no way to use the reduce_io true. In my case, there is no recover = .true. (a restart) in the input:

ph0
&inputph
  prefix='test',
  reduce_io = .true.
  trans =.true.
  outdir='scratch',
  fildyn='test.dyn',
/
0.009443  0.016356  0.000000

And the output (main parts, I guess):

When commenting the reduce_io, all goes normal; it continues the "Computing dynamical matrix for" and computes the phonon frequencies.

Best,

In the second case we should warn the user about it in the documentation

Sorry ...

do  I understand correctly that at the moment,   the only issue is that at restart ph fails when the reduce_io flag is set to true.
 Is it right ?
Yes, because when the reduce_io is true, the code do not save the bands and wfcs in the RAM, and the dfpt step ends with

     Error in routine openfilq (1):
     file acnl1.wfc not found

After recalculate the bands, in the part
     The potential is recalculated from file :
     scratch/_ph0/acnl1.save/charge-density

there is no:
     Writing output data file acnl1.save/

As there is when the reduce io is false.

Hi,

I just compiled the q-e-dev to try the changes from https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/issues/102

It appears some things are missing (could be may fault). The scf (wf_collect false, 2D) wrote the wfcs, xml and bands on scratch. The ph0(reduce_io true, single-q out Gamma) created the phsave and save in _ph0, and copied only charge.dat to _ph0/save; no wfcs, nor xml in _ph0.In the phout, there is no "failed retrieving info from xml", it found the bands in scratch/save and printed (reading from /scratch/xml? as there is no xml in _ph0?) it is a 2D calc. It built the pot from _ph0/save (the charge.dat is there) did the scf, but forgot to write the wfcs from this scf (and apparently, did not stored it on RAM) ... going on, the dfpt step could not find the .wfc (is it a miss behave of the reduce io flag? previously, in a single calculation with reduce io flag it did not happen). I repeated the ph0 with the reduce io flag commented, and as results: the wfc are in _ph0, the xml in _ph0/save, after the phx calls pwx to calc the bands it wrote it, and the dfpt now finds the wfcs.

Best,
