A wiper script is not yet set up for our new Frame-Builder. The disk usage is ~80% now, so I think we should start running a wiper script that manages overall disk usage and deletes old frame files to this end.
From what I could find on the elog, the way this was done was by running a cron job on FB. There is a perl script, /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/fb/wiper.pl, which from what I could understand, runs a bunch of du commands on different directories to determine if there is a need to delete any files.
I copied this script over to /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/daqd/wiper.pl. This is the directory in which all the new FB stuff resides. Conveniently, the script has a "dry-run" option, which I tried running on FB1. However, I get the following error message:
Fri Sep 15 15:44:45 PDT 2017
Dry run, will not remove any files!!!
You need to rerun this with --delete argument to really delete frame files
Directory disk usage:
/frames/trend/minute_rawk
Combined 0k or 0m or 0Gb
Illegal division by zero at ./wiper.pl line 98.
So it would seem that for some reason, the du commands aren't working. From what I could tell, there aren't any directory paths specific to the old FB machine that need to be changed. I believe the script was working prior to the FB disk crash - unfortunately it doesn't look like this script was under version control but I don't think any changes have been made to this script.
Before I go down a Perl rabbit hole, has anyone seen such an error or is aware of some reason why this might not work on the new FB? Am I even using the correct scripts? |
