Offhand, I'd say that the product-queues need to be larger. Such large files don't give the product-queue space-recovery algorithm much to work with. When the product-queue needs more room for a new product, it deletes products beginning with the oldest until sufficient space is available. > Down: > Looking at around the same time in the log: > > Oct 30 16:59:43 mlsodata pqact[23067] NOTE: Filed in > "/home/ldm/data/comp/20121004.073858.FTS.gz": 126955547 > 20121030225712.286 EXP 000 comp/20121004.073858.FTS.gz > Oct 30 16:59:58 mlsodata pqact[23067] ERROR: child 23475 exited with > status 2 (EXEC /bin/gunzip comp/20121004.073858.FTS.gz) > Oct 30 17:00:39 mlsodata pqact[23067] NOTE: Filed in > "/home/ldm/data/comp/20121004.073944.FTS.gz": 126952281 > 20121030225713.969 EXP 000 comp/20121004.073944.FTS.gz > Oct 30 17:00:54 mlsodata pqact[23067] ERROR: child 23484 exited with > status 2 (EXEC /bin/gunzip comp/20121004.073944.FTS.gz) > Oct 30 17:01:27 mlsodata pqact[23067] NOTE: Filed in > "/home/ldm/data/comp/20121004.074037.FTS.gz": 126466253 > 20121030230015.905 EXP 000 comp/20121004.074037.FTS.gz > Oct 30 17:01:42 mlsodata pqact[23067] ERROR: child 23507 exited with > status 2 (EXEC /bin/gunzip comp/20121004.074037.FTS.gz) > > These messages are because the destination files already existed > gunzipped, so gunzip wouldn't overwrite them.
