Pavel, Check your logs file and symbolic link...your symbolic link is to the actual log file, not the log dir...this may still work, but per instructions: First one needs to create the directories on the non-backed up disk partition, ie /var/data. % mkdir /var/data/ldm % mkdir /var/data/ldm/logs Use a symbolic link to a non-backed up disk partition. % cd ~ldm % ln -s /var/data/ldm data % ln -s /var/data/ldm/logs logs so this is what you should see re data and logs: /local/ldm% ls -l total 6608 lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 11 Feb 20 2001 bin -> runtime/bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm ustaff 13 May 17 07:47 currentFLOATER lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 9 Feb 20 2001 data -> /data/ldm drwxrwxr-x 2 ldm ustaff 1024 Feb 20 17:49 decoders drwxr-xr-x 3 ldm ustaff 1024 Feb 14 16:07 etc lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 15 Feb 20 2001 include -> runtime/include drwxrwxr-x 7 ldm ustaff 512 Aug 25 2000 ldm-5.1.2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm ustaff 590741 Aug 25 2000 ldm-5.1.2.tar.Z drwxrwxr-x 7 ldm ustaff 512 Aug 3 2000 ldm-5.1.2beta1 drwxrwxr-x 7 ldm ustaff 512 Aug 14 2000 ldm-5.1.2beta2 drwxrwxr-x 7 ldm ustaff 512 Aug 18 2000 ldm-5.1.2beta3 drwxrwxr-x 7 ldm ustaff 512 Sep 6 2001 ldm-5.1.4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm ustaff 595573 Sep 6 2001 ldm-5.1.4.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm ustaff 2133601 Feb 20 13:33 ldm-mcidas-7.6.4.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm ustaff 5 May 5 14:59 ldmd.pid lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 11 Feb 20 2001 lib -> runtime/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 14 Feb 20 2001 logs -> /data/ldm/logs drwx------ 2 ldm ustaff 512 Oct 19 2001 mail lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 11 Feb 20 2001 man -> runtime/man drwxrwxr-x 2 gempak ustaff 512 Jan 24 2001 nids_gifs drwxr-xr-x 6 ldm ustaff 1024 Mar 19 13:34 png drwxrwxr-x 17 ldm ustaff 512 Nov 13 2001 radarVolumes lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 9 Sep 6 2001 runtime -> ldm-5.1.4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ustaff 11 Feb 20 2001 src -> runtime/src drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ustaff 1024 Apr 4 07:15 util drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ustaff 512 Mar 22 2001 web drwxrwxr-x 3 ldm ustaff 512 Jan 2 2001 ~ /local/ldm% -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Mon, 20 May 2002, Byles, Pavel O wrote: > I have just finished setting up the symlinks and dirs.
