After a bit of a hiatus in running the regional mom6 on Setonix, I’ve tried picking this up again from a later restart file. I was a bit silly and hadn’t backed up some of the input files, so needed to make a new hgrid before generating the new forcing segments.

When running this on Setonix, I receive the error message: **segment data are not on supergrid**. Has anyone seen this before? @ashjbarnes @schmidt-christina @angus-g

It occurs after the following line in the `mom6.out` file:  
`NOTE from PE 0: MOM\_restart: MOM run restarted using : INPUT/MOM.res\_2.nc

FATAL from PE 49: segment data are not on the supergrid`

Any idea what to check here?

Thankyou!

Scratch this - realised I was using forcing segments created from a slightly different hgrid.

If this error pops up; check x/y length of `forcing_obc_segment_00X.nc` vs hgrid (supergrid) shape.
