By example, for the Jan. 20th, 2000 12Z UKMET, I miss all the fields for the initial time, and the pressure field is missing for many forecast hours. Is there anything I can check to know what's going on? I checked the queue, the size seems ok. I checked also my link to cirrus.lsc.vsc.edu, and the connect time is very fast. But, when looking at the log file, I see : LDM status report from the logs for the last 15 hours. Currently io is running percent idle load average: 2.36, 2.56, 2.82 Running version number 5.0.9. LDM was restarted 4 time(s) Last LDM restart at Jan 19 16:20:09 Max Queue usage is 68448672 bytes, it occurred at Jan 20 21:26:11 Critical LDM problems that need immediate attention: Potential LDM Problems: 'Breaking connection' message occurred 16 time(s). Last one at: Jan 20 19:34:20 For cirrus it happened 16 time(s). 'NULLPROC error' message occurred 2 time(s). Last one at: Jan 20 18:53:15 For cirrus.lsc.vsc.edu it happened 2 time(s).
