Pete,

re: allowing profhorn.meteor.wisc.edu

>Thanks, much appreciated!

I have not see profhorn connect to motherlode yet.  Is it setup to do
so, or do we have some sort of problem?

Hi all,

Thanks to Unidata support, working hard on a Saturday, anyone who
normally feeds from sunset.meteor.wisc.edu can instead feed from
profhorn.meteor.wisc.edu until sunset is fixed and happy again.

One word of caution, I'm going to be slowly piping through the data from
the UIUC archive site that I've missed since 0800 UTC, so you may end
up getting more data than you are expecting until the backlog flushes
through.

ALso, profhorn.meteor.wisc.edu is the machine that I use to also
ingest the high bandwidth NMC2 feed, so I'm not sure if the 10 mbps
line into profhorn will handle the load of everyone feeding from
it in addition to the NMC2 feed.  I'll keep an eye on it and
let you all know if it seems to be a problem.

I'll be in this evening to try to figure out what's up on sunset. Very
frustrating, at first, the ldm was crashing, but now I can't even get
pqcreate to run. It dumps a core as soon as the queue file has grown to
it's complete size.. I've tried it on different disk drives as well, so
it's not a bad disk. Strange.. 

I'm going to try first swapping in some different RAM, and if that
doesn't work, maybe a new mother board.. Nice to just happen to have a
few spare parts lying around.. Unidata Support: does this sound to you
like a memory problem? I have not seen any bad memory info in my system
logs.

Pete
