How to change the location of scratch directory

[ggdhzdx]

My 500GB /tmp directory is not large enough for ADC2 calculation and "No space left on device" erros raises as below:

[Errno 28] Can't write data (file write failed: time = Wed Mar 16 14:37:59 2022
, filename = '/tmp/tmpz2zekel8', file descriptor = 6, errno = 28, error message = 'No space left on device', buf = 0x151316c52c90, total write size = 83890048, bytes this sub-write = 83890048, bytes actually written = 18446744073709551615, offset = 0)

I search the docs for methods to change the location of scratch dir but failed

Are you using adcc in combination with pyscf? This looks to me like the pyscf scratch file/directory. BTW if you don't use the libxm allocator in adcc, adcc itself won't write anything to disk, it keeps everything in RAM.

Yes, problem solved! It's a pyscf scrach directory. Thanks a lot
