In order to maintain a small number of checkpoint files, introduce an num_checkpoint_max parameter, which overwrites the saved checkpoints every n time steps. Say n=5, the savings will proceed in time as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ; 6->1, 7->2, 8->3, 9->4, 10->5; with -> meaning that files are overwritten.
One can still use the current symbolic link approach to have fld.bin pointing to the last saved files.
