I am not sure I understand the situation: are only eigenvalues required? if
so, there should be a *.xml file that contains already computed
eigenvalues. You may just compute the remaining k-points and make a merge.
For future reference: disk_io='none' does not write the xml file, but it is
sufficient to move the first instruction in "punch.f90":
IF (io_level < 0 ) RETURN
after
CALL pw_write_schema( only_init, wf_collect )
Maybe this should actually be the default behavior for disk_io='none'. In
case you are young and wondering where this funny name "punch" comes from:
it is a relict of the era of "punched cards"
