20020724: LDM / CPU Issue

Patrick,
It looks like most of the resources are being taken up by decoders
(as you see with the high IOWAIT).
When you first start your LDM, you will have a backlog of data to digest
(generally 1 hours worth, unless you have modified the values).
This usually means the LDM is hitting the disk pretty hard filing and
kicking off decoders.
If this CPU usage is temporary, eg goes down after your LDM has
caught up (use ldmadmin watch to see when your arriving
productshave cught up), then it probably can't be avoided.
If this remains the condition, then you may need to look at the
2 biggest CPU users which are the McIDAS programs. Could
they be looking for something that you have to recreate after your
file system was fixed? Are you seeing your McIDAS surface data?
That seems to be the decoders of top usage.
I'll pass on to Tom Yoksas to see if he has input on
your xcd decoders.
