At yesterday's meeting, Len Moss had some important suggestions about AFS volume layout for ATLAS group space. It will effect the performance in the future. Len mentioned that Babar had a painful experience of re-organize their AFS layout at a later time. I hope it is not too late for ATLAS. I would like to propose a brief meeting, maybe in the first/last 20-30 minutes during one of our regular ATLAS-SCCS meetings, to discuss what is the best practice to organize ATLAS group volumes. Here is a short list of things I can think of: 1) Babar's experience (in AFS layout) to prevent hard hitting of AFS servers when hundreds of jobs start at the same time 2) What is the current ATLAS Atlas volume layout Len and Renata will attend this discussion. I hope that either Charlie or Stephen will present. And since Zach is installing ATLAS releases, maybe Zach is interested? Our regular ATLAS-SCCS meeting is Wednesday 9-10am PDT. People can dial in as well. Please let me know what you think and we can decide the date. P.S. There is also a AFS & Kerberos Best Practices Workshop in May 7-11 at SLAC. It is mostly for administrators but it does include tutorial sessions at the beginning. http://www.pmw.org/afsbpw07 -- Wei Yang | [log in to unmask] | 650-926-3338(O)
