Kevin, Would you please send me the output of the command fgrep ldm.pq ~/etc/registry.xml Also, Stonie Cooper has something to try. --Steve ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Stonie Cooper (he/his/him) <address@hidden> Date: Fri, Feb 17, 2023 at 6:17 PM Subject: Re: Impossible ldmadmin(1) problem on Kevin Polston's machine Steve - I know you sent that to Mike, but I do have a two tests I wouldn't mind suggesting, if you don't mind. The first has to do with some idiosyncrasies I have noticed with xfs . . . in fact, I refuse to use in any longer. And this is on a modern OS like Rocky 8 or Ubuntu 22.04. If Kevin has the ability to grow out a separate logical volume, and then mount it as /ldmQueue or /data or something like that. Make the filesystem ext4, reiserfs, or something other than xfs. Make "ldm" the owner, and also make sure whatever group he has assigned "ldm" to: chown -R ldm:ldm /data Then edit the registry.xml and point the queue to that fs: <queue> <path>/data/ldm.pq</path> <size>500M</size> <slots>default</slots> </queue> And that brings me to the second idea . . . have him make his queue much smaller, and see if that changes anything. At my former job, I thought I was clever and used xfs as a fs . . . only to get filesystem "full" notifications when df showed it was only 70%. Come to find out, I was out of inodes . . . and when I did a fsck, it wanted to remove my queue. In his shoes, that is what I would do to try to eliminate some of the variables. > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: OQE-357383 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
