Ribble > Purdue University > Mesoscale Convection and Tornado Research Group (MCT) > address@hidden > http://www.eas.purdue.edu/~eribble Hi Eric! Nice to hear from you. Well, a valid and good reason for having the queue local is that the LDM just won't work otherwise. The queue is a memory mapped file. Memory mapped files don't work across mounted file systems - the memory mapped file must be on a local disk. If your sys admin doesn't buy this, he could always write a little test program to confirm it. Hope this helps!
