It will be Monday until everything is properly installed and you get the pw's to access. Let me explain how it works: everyone gets an afs account on the linux cluster llc.psi.ch on his name with his own password. That account is located on /afs/psi.ch/user/"initial"/"yourname"/ You can login by: ssh yourname@llc.psi.ch but also locally: ssh yourname@pc3608.psi.ch, where you have then access to the local discs of pc3608 (/data, /scratch, etc) although your home platform is on the llc cluster. >From llc.psi.ch you have access to our new archive, e.g. by cd /archiv/user/p/petitjean/r2002c/ etc where you find our data of last year Further, we have access to a common project account: /afs/psi.ch/project/mucap that's where the common analysis programs and results could be placed. Our new archive can also be accessed by "ftp archivftp.psi.ch" using your afs name and password, similar to the old archive. Finally you will have access to the "merlin" linux cluster by ssh yourname@merlin.psi.ch (same llc pw), where we can do multiprocessing analyses. All system are run by linux 7.3 Thats enough for today. I send you info when its ready for you. Now some answers to your remarks: > Fred, Bernhard, and I spent some time discussing this, and we agree > that it would be useful if everyone in MuCap had an afs account > available for analysis computation. However, we think it would > be exceedingly dangerous to make our DAQ machines (pc620 and pc3608) > part of the afs network, and thus dependent upon the remote afs > server. It is imperative that we preserve the DAQ computers' > "locality". I totally agree, that the daq must be local (pc620). Conc. pc3608, we obviously need also the local account data as of now and may be some more accounts for programmers in charge, but the non-specialists should access pc3608 via afs. > Actually, I just discovered this afternoon that castorftp was > inaccessible > or missing, when I attempted to move a file over to pc3608. Can you > inform us where our mucap02c runs are currently residing, and how we > can access them? > What is the current and long-term archive situation? I > remember that this was an issue that arose in December, when castor > kept crashing. I answered this above. You have to wait for your afs pw. The graduate student of the fast experiment did a lot of analysis recently from the new archive with no problem. Transfer speed of data from the new archive at PSI is 10 MB/s. > The most likely culprit is an unconnected wire acting as an antenna. > I encountered the same problem during my CAEN clock runs, so I changed > the badwires file on pc620:/data, turning off all of the ePC > channels in > the CAENs. That solved the problem at the time, so maybe now another > channel is causing problems. If the events have a 1/2-second > duration, that means that none of the modules are filling completely, > and that the timeout hardware has ended the event. > Can you tell me what the 3 CAEN and COMP data sizes are, on the > average, for your "fast" and "slow" events? I > might be able to tell you more once I see that. You find the data e.g. right on pc620:/data/mucap02c.50 ff - runs 50-60 were 10000 events each in "fast" mode being 6.4 MB long, while run nr 60 was only about 1000 events in "slow" mode being 39.6 MB long - the difference is thus about 60 fold! If you need more info, you have to tell me how to gather it.

Everyone gets with separate mail information about his account and passwords. If some additional collaborators are missing they can be added anytime by Marco Foglia. In addition, we have a common afs project account adressable from your own account as /afs/psi.ch/project/mucap The idea is to have there common analysis programs or results available, see also Marco Foglias remarks below. I hope this will help mastering the big data flow that we expect during this summer/fall!
