WRFDA 4D-VAR running error

Good day!
I have some troubles to run my WRFDA 4D-VAR case.
And I'm looking for someone who has more experience in running this module.

For information:
I use CentOS 7.
I have successfully compiled 3D-VAR (4.1.3), WRFPLUS and 4D-VAR with using GNU dmpar configuration. Also I installated it on netcdf-c-4.9.2, netcdf-fortran-4.6.1, hdf5-1.10.5, zlib-1.2.13, jasper-1.900, libpng-1.6.37 and mpich-3.3.1.
I run 3D-VAR test successfully and didn't have any errors in compile log files.

When I run my case on 8 processors I didn't received any direct error but the da_wrfvar.exe process terminated for some time,
but rsl.error ends by:
...

The termination looks like:
starting wrf task 0 of 8
starting wrf task 1 of 8
starting wrf task 2 of 8
starting wrf task 3 of 8
starting wrf task 4 of 8
starting wrf task 6 of 8
starting wrf task 5 of 8
starting wrf task 7 of 8

Сould it be related to the size and resolution of my domain or with input files (sound temp reports)? Or may be I should use more processors?

I have attached my configure requirements file.
I would be very grateful for any ideas how to solve this problem.

I have the same problem.Can you help me if you solve it
I found a solution that is not entirely explainable, but worked for test case and for my case calculation with the assimilation of 4D-VAR.
It looks like:
> mpirun -np 2 ./da_wrfvar.exe >& wrfda_4d.log

The assimilation module (4D-VAR) worked correctly only on 2 processors.
This may be due to the instability of my cluster file system or to incorrect parallelization of 4dvar itself, which seems more likely to me.
I would like to know from the WRFDA developers, if they have an example of stable operation on multiprocessor systems with 4D-VAR code compilation for Intel systems?
