One would expect to see multiple GEMPAK decodes running given the
setup in the LDM pattern action file that is being used, ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf.

This is very strange.  When I was logged in yesterday, and in my
current login, I see all of the various GEMPAK data directories
under ~ldm/data.  I would suspect that there was a problem with
the mounted file system, but 'mount' shows that the disk is local:

(blizzard) /local/ldm > mount
 ...
/dev/mapper/vg_atms2-data2 on /data type ext4 (rw,noatime)

Me too.  The LDM would have nothing to do with directories
not being found.

re:

You are correct.  While the LDM is running, processes (e.g., decoders)
run by the LDM utility 'pqact' will show up in the process list
as will at least one 'ldmd' process (there will be one 'ldmd'
for each upstream REQUEST and downstream feed that are active along
with the lead 'ldmd' process).

Other than the very strange instances of the ~ldm/data/gempak/...
not being found, I don't see a problem.  Am I missing something?

Cheers,

Tom
