 +It is also possible (and preferable) to export the data onto a RAID first. Currently, there are three RAIDS which can beused for temporary storage at Hobart - Vortex, Cornucopia and 131.217.63.140 (Currently unnamed and contains two separate RAIDS of 6 and 12 TB). These can be NFS mounted on the mk5 machine with <​code>​mount vortex.phys.utas.edu.au:/​exports/​vortex_internal/​ /​mnt/​vortex</​code>​ (as root). Once mounted the data can be copied with <​code>​cp /​mnt/​diskpack/​r1485* /​mnt/​vortex/​r1485hb/</​code>​. 
 + 
 +Once fully copied, please check the data has not been corrupted in the transfer. ssh into hex0 and NFS mount the RAID if necessary. Then run <​code>​directory2filelist /​mnt/​vortex/​r1485hb Mark5B-256-16-1 > /​tmp/​ok.txt</​code>​ . The output to the screen will be the list of those scans which show problems. It's not uncommon to see up to ~10% of the scans fail the test - these files should be deleted and retransferred to the RAID.  
 + 
 +The same <​code>​directory2filelist</​code>​ procedure should be run after a transfer to Bonn completes to check for errors in transmission. ​
