Did you try checkpointing a non-MPI application with BLCR on the
cluster? If that does not work then I would suspect that BLCR is not
working properly on the system.
However if a non-MPI application can be checkpointed and restarted
correctly on this machine then it may be something odd with the Open
MPI installation or runtime environment. To help debug here I would
need to know how Open MPI was configured and how the application was
ran on the machine (command line arguments, environment variables, ...).
I should note that for the program that you sent it is important that
you compile Open MPI with the Fault Tolerance Thread enabled to ensure
a timely checkpoint. Otherwise the checkpoint will be delayed until
the MPI program enters the MPI_Finalize function.
Let me know what you find out.
