Pulsar Data Transfer

The GBT Pulsar Spigot is a power device for wide bandwidth pulsar observations. The Spigot also generates large volumns of data that must be quickly tranfered to external disks, and removed from the computer. This page provides a summary of the currently mounted disk drives on the Spigot and the names of the current owners of these drives.

Current Disk Drive Usage: Status unknown

Please remove your data as soon as possible!

Mounting

The Linux operating system requires the person mounting the external hard drives to have "root" priveledge. Some members of the NRAO staff have been assigned this priveledge and will perform the mount/dismount operations for remote observers.

Please contact one of the following for pulsar data mount requests:

Steps for mounting a firewire/usb drive

The process of mounting a disk first requires plugging the disk into the spigot2 computer, located in the GBT Equipment room, then figuring out the unix drive name. This is accomplished with the following steps:
