19990701: The CONDUIT data feed

Celia,

The "not enough space" message seems to indicate that the LDM
tried to increase the queue size, and failed. In general, you
should start the queue as large as you expect to need it.
On IRIX, the LDM will try to increase the queue size if needed-
but you can run into conflicts with pqexpire. This can corrupt the queue
and kill the LDM.

If pqexpire dies, then the queue would not be scoured and would
keep growing out of control.  I run my IRIX64 machine
queue size with ldmadmin specifying 800mb. My statistics show
that the high water mark of this queue is currently about 625Mb.
The queue has been serving the NMC2 feed for many months without 
rebuilding.

If you have shorter than normal MRF files, then check the LDM
logs for RECLASS messages. This would be a sign of latencies
greater than 1 hour and losing data. The other common occurence
is for the Cray at NCEP to crach and files are late or scrubbed.
