>From: Anthony James Wimmers <address@hidden> >Organization: UVa >Keywords: 200202112009.g1BK9hx18431 LDM ldm.pq Tony, >I don't remember what this means, but ... the ldm.pq file >on our root directory is getting huge - 304MB - and filled >the root directory up to 100%. What's the best solution? The LDM product queue is created with a fixed size when the LDM is setup. The queue has been 300 MB for quite some time on your machine. As to it being in the root directory: the LDM queue is typically put in ~ldm/data. >Will it continue on as normal if I delete it? No, the LDM will not run. Data products from feed sites is put into the queue upon receipt. pqact then reads through the queue and does what it is told to do by actions in ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf. >I'll be back in at 5pm/3pm MST, in case you need some >feedback. I would say that other use of your disk filled it. Try looking around for extraneous data files and/or core files that can be deleted. >Thanks, By the way, I have been working at creating a new distribution of gribdec. This one should be able to handle the high resolution model data that one can FTP off of the NOAA site(s) or get through a CONDUIT feed. In order to access some of the larger grids in McIDAS, users will need to load an addendum (also in progress) and rebuild everything. Just thought you might be interested...
