#2934: CarpetX's norms output ignores `IO::truncate_files`
Reporter: Roland Haas Status: new Milestone: Version: Type: bug Priority: major Component: CarpetX
Changes (by Roland Haas): running the same parameter file that has:
``` IO::out_dir = $parfile IO::out_every = 1 IO::truncate_files = yes CarpetX::out_metadata = no CarpetX::out_norm_vars = "CenterOfMass::rho CenterOfMass::x_rho" ```
twice results in results in output being appended to the output file:
