Re: [ldm-users] high memory

Jeff,

Kind-of sounds like I/O contention... what's your disk configuration? Do you run RAID? If so, what kind? What do you observe if you monitor "iostat -x 5" while the problem is occuring?

Art and all,
what I noticed first with this new system was a horrible lag in writing the NEXRAD3 and LIGHTNING files to disk watching the incoming feed ( ldmadmin watch -f NEXRAD3) the file time and my receive time were the expected 45sec to 90sec delay, but the write to disk was at least 4 minutes sometimes 6+ later ..

it seems to have settled down been watching it today with all the radar returns across the conus
don't see any lag ..
I use bin/pqmon every once and a while ..
is there a way I can query the queue to see the max age it has for a certain product??
just want to see where my problem lies if I see lags writing to disk again

Jeff,

If your disk RPM isn't at least 7200, your I/O is going to be bad with Level2/3 feeds.
