Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Weather.admin.niu.edu is back up on the old kernel. It is very apparent that the latest SMP kernel release from Redhat yesterday, version 2.4.9-6, hates the LDM. The non-SMP version is cool with it. Under the new SMP (more than one processor) kernel, the LDM, once started, just continually uses the disk drive. Very weird. The load average on my machine then rockets up to 10. On the non-SMP machine it stays at a solid .40, and the disk drive reads/writes as normal. When I switched back to the old (2.4-3) kernel on my dual processor machine, all was fine. Should I email Redhat or the support folks@UNIDATA, or both? Well, UNIDATA support is getting this, so half of my question is answered... :-) ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** Internet: gilbert@xxxxxxx (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
