Erratic disk writing

Hi,

I am running a simulation and I absolutely need it to run for 8000 iterations before writing fields to the disk and stopping. However, it always run for a different amount of iterations, 2099, 1884, 1853 ... My controlDict file is:

Code:

startFrom       latestTime;



// stopAt          endTime;

stopAt          nextWrite;

// stopAt            writeNow;



endTime            875;



deltaT          0.01;



writeControl    timeStep;



writeInterval   8000;



purgeWrite      0;



writeFormat     ascii;



writePrecision  6;



writeCompression compressed;



timeFormat      general;



timePrecision   6;



runTimeModifiable yes;

This problem is so weird, I can't find what has to be fixed.

Found the error. I moved the time directories around, therefore the time index did not correspond with the directories number., and all worked logically when the time indexes were considered.
