    Hi

    If you are using n=2

    Engine run would create 112 (domains) times 2 (n)  = 112 *2 = 224 *.rst's 

    and Starter run would create 112 *.rst's.

    So total 336

     

    That would be some like

    1) Starter:

    filename_0000_0001.rst

    ...

    filename_0000_0112.rst

     

    2) Engine:

    filename_0001_0001_I.rst

    filename_0001_0001_J.rst

    filename_0001_0002_I.rst

    filename_0001_0002_J.rst

    ...

    filename_0001_0112_I.rst

    filename_0001_0112_J.rst

     

    If you are running on cluster, please check if it is not listing as well any scratch or temp space files.

     

    I hope this is helpful

    Regards
