| + | It is also possible (and preferable) to export the data onto a RAID first. Currently, there are five RAIDS which can be used for temporary storage at Hobart - Vortex, Cornucopia, Jupiter (which contains two separate RAIDS of 6 and 12 TB) and Magilla. 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 the NFS host as observer and run <code>./directory2list /exports/vortex_internal/r1485hb Mark5B-256-16-1</code> . The output to the screen will be the list of all the scans with the start mjd/time and a summary indicating if problems were found. If bad scans are found, a summary at the end will warn you, and list of bad scans will be made available. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After a transfer to Bonn completes, you should run <code>directory2filelist /data3/r1/hobart12/r1485/ Mark5B-256-16-1</code> to check for errors in transmission. | ||
