You'll need to provide a little more information -- that claim doesn't
make a lot of sense without the context of whatever you're trying to
do...

So are you writing files with MPI I/O in one run and then trying to
read them in again in a later run? Are you using the same number of
processes to write as to read? Are the files on NFS or on local
filesystems?

Rajeev can probably best talk about how those things are supposed to
work.
