Hello everybody,

As written in the title, I was trying to run WRF & WPS in an external disk of my laptop. Everything was fine until I had to run "ungrib.exe", which returned me the following error:

"At line 147 of file output.f90 (unit = 13)
Fortran runtime error: Cannot open file '/../../../../../media/federico/Data/AgroSoc/ungribfiles/PFILE:2021-07-31_18': Invalid argument

Error termination. Backtrace:

Following the suggestion contained in this topic: https://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=9550, I ran ungrib in my home directory and everything turned fine again. The problem is that I don't have enough space in my home disk and I would like to run WRF in the external one. Is there any suggestion to bypass that bug?

Thank you,
Federico
 
Not really an answer, but I think this might be due to encoding of the external disk filesystem hence the question marks.
Are there any special characters?
maybe you have annother external just to test?
 
Well, thank you because you gave me the input to find the issue. I formatted an external disk and tried different file systems. The only that finally worked was the Linux partition one. Thank you again.
