Hi John, re: > Thanks Tom, No worries. > We had moved /data/mcidas to /webcat1 when the file system filled up > to 100% on allegan, we were also seeing some disk errors from the disk > so we have another larger disk on the way. I tested that root, ldm, and > mcidas had write access to the new directory but obviously I must have > missed something. It was odd... The /webcat file system showed that it should be writable by 'ldm' and 'mcidas', but writes never succeeded. I did the following as both 'ldm' and 'mcidas': touch /webcat/xxx The process would hang, not fail. > The data is not shared with webcat it is simply located on webcat as the > largest immediately available space. I just wanted to make sure that /webcat1 was not shared between allegan and webcat AND being written to by McIDAS-XCD decoders on both machines. This would be _bad_. > I have moved /data/mcidas back to the local /data disk for the time > being although I am concerned that the disk space may fill up again > before we get the disk swapped out. I am hoping that the new larger > disk will arrive today and we can have it swapped out before the file > system fills up. OK. > Thank you so much for all of your help!!! No worries.
