Things are continuing to clear up nicely since the science database kerfuffle earlier this week. The assimilator queue is still large, but now that everything is more or less "caught up" it's draining at a pretty good clip.

Nobody probably noticed but for a while there this morning (actually still as I type this sentence) we had two scheduling servers - ptolemy and anakin. I finally got anakin up and configured and made it a secondary scheduler to test it out. Once we're ready to convert ptolemy into something else, we now have another scheduling server in our back pocket.

This is great to hear. Matt can you give us a rough idea as to how much the fantastic optimised application from Alex Kan has speed up the data crunching, are we catching up on the back log of data? What are the chances of been able to get a out line of how full the storage drives are on the Server status page or how much data there is left on each tape ie tape 05mr08ac has 50.07GB of data on it & there is (10) completed channels 40GB to go until the disk is completed. Is this possible?
Thanks’to you all for your hard work
