Is there a way to specify how much scratch disk to use for ccCA, like how you can do so for MP2? I checked the documentation (http://www.nwchem-sw.org/index.php/Release62:CCCA) and no mention was made there.

Having "scratchdisk 100000" in the ccCA block returns an error, whereas "mp2; scratchdisk 100000; end" works for explicit MP2 jobs, but not in this case. I think this keyword is being ignored for the ccCA job, however, and the scratchdisk available seems closely related to the total memory listed in "memory total ... gb".

Log file for the step:

ccCA: MP2 calculation with aug-cc-pVQZ basis
...
Available:
local mem= 5.87D+07
global mem= 1.34D+08
local disk= 5.60D+07

It'd be nice to tell NWChem that there's more scratch disk available, since ccCA is comprised of many MP2 calculations.
