Hi Marty, re: > So > ln -s /usr/local/ldm/data /data > would be the correct command? Yes. re: > Since the pqact(1) configuration file FILEs data products under "/data", > does our disk that we call /data create an issue? No. The link will allow for pattern-action file FILE entries to specify relative disk paths ('data/' instead of '/data/'). By the way, is the user 'ldm' allowed to write files/create directories under /data on your machine? If not, you have found your problem. Try the following: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm touch /data/xxx Did this work? If not, the read/write/execute permissions on /data will need to be changed.
