Hi Pat,  Jeff forwarded your message to me.  (Currently we are dividing up the 
ldm
support so Jeff handles maintenence of  the network of ldms while I handle
questions specific to the LDM software.)

You can put your data anywhere you like.  The only restriction is that the
~ldm/data directory must be local if that's where your product queue resides,
i.e., the product queue must be local.   Data directories do not have to be 
local,
although it is recommended that they be local because the LDM will perform 
better
if they are.   If you follow these guidelines, you can make links for data in 
your
data directory to whatever directories you want.

152Mb sounds relatively small, but it really depends on what you're getting and
how long you want to keep it.   Which products are you interested in?   You can
configure how often scour runs.  It's time units are days.  The configuration 
file
for scour is ~ldm/etc/scour.conf.  See the man page for scour for more info.
