This data includes such things as GPS time and position, seawater temperature and conductivity, etc. All data is logged into subdirectories under a master data directory residing on the fileserver linus. This data can be accessed from accounts on linus, or can be exported via nfs to allow mounting on other computers. All access to this data is read-only. Each specific data source has its own subdirectory under the master.
Disk space is sufficient for most cruises.
All the Unix hosts on the network share their larger disk partitions via nfs. Below this is one directory for each machine that can share a filesystem. The filesystem from a given computer is mounted onto a directory name that matches the computer name. This technique allows the absolute pathname to a given data file to always be the same regardless of what computer the program is running on. If you plan to generate a large amount of data, please bring your own machine with adequate disk space for your needs.
