We can try it, but I think the data transfer rate may be limiting.
Besides, we need about 35-40 TB for another month of operation. The
best bet if we want to keep running is to bail some data onto the (I
think) 3 NAS units down there. At the moment, they don't seem to be
mounted, so we will need to get some on-site tech support.

If we *ever* get this raw->tape process working, we'll have some room
on folio freed-up to bring over some data. I need ~2.2 TB free in
order to keep compression running smoothly (1.1TB being compressed,
while the next night is copied over at the same time), but we have ~4
TB free at the moment. Maybe we could take a bunch of the compressed
data off of the SA pots?

I don't know about px1's but core* files are often core dumps, the
contents of ram when a big failure happens.
I'll run some RFI reports.
More pressing: we are almost out of storage space. By my
calculations we'll run out of space sometime around Feb 26.
Thats only about a month early; recall that our original plan was
to stop on April 1. So we'll be losing out on about the most
foregroundy 12% of the season. To keep observing we'd have to
start deleting raw, something which I advise against since it is
not, as we've seen, a low-risk option.

Hi -
I was wondering about the core.* and px1.* files on paper1 -
do we need to save them, or are they just auto-generated chaff?
Also, there was a question about the automated RFI summary
reports - I don’t think that they’ve been restarted?
The refrigerators are very hot and melty (i.e. the plastic and
foam) and Jasper will see about charging them and hopefully we
can nurse them through this observing season. We will need
two replacements before the next season.
Thanks,
Dave
