Professor D: So , uh Let 's see . So that was that topic , and then um , I guess another topic would be where are we in the whole disk resources question for Grad B: We are slowly slowly getting to the point where we have uh enough sp room to record meetings . So I uh did a bunch of archiving , and still doing a bunch of archiving , I I 'm in the midst of doing the P - files from uh , Broadcast News . and it took eleven hours {comment} to do to uh copy it .
PhD C: Eleven ?
Grad B: And it 'll take another eleven to do the clone .
PhD A: Where did you copy it to ?
Grad B: Well , it 's Abbott . It 's Abbott , so it just But it 's it 's a lot of data .
Professor D: Sk - It 's copying from one place on Abbott to another place on Abbott ?
Grad B: Tape .
PhD C: Tape ?
PhD A: Oh , on the tape .
Professor D: Oh !
Grad B: I did an archive .
Professor D: I 'm sorry .
PhD A: Ah !
Grad B: So I 'm archiving it , and then I 'm gonna delete the files .
PhD C: Oh .
Grad B: So that will give us ten gigabytes of free space .
PhD C: Eleven hours ?
PhD A: Wow !
PhD C: Oh .
Postdoc E: Yeah , the archiving m program does take a long time .
Grad B: And and PhD C: Yeah .
Grad B: Yep . And so one That that will be done , like , in about two hours . And so uh , at that point we 'll be able to record five more meetings . So .
PhD C: Yeah .
Postdoc E: One thing The good news about that that is that once once it 's archived , it 's pretty quick to get back .
PhD C: Yeah .
Professor D: Is it ?
Postdoc E: I mean , it it it The other direction is fast , but this direction is really slow .
Grad B: Right .
Professor D: Hmm .
Grad B: Well , especially because I 'm generating a clone , also .
PhD C: Yeah .
Grad B: So . And that takes a while .
PhD C: Yeah .
Postdoc E: Yeah , OK .
PhD A: Generating a clone ?
Postdoc E: Yeah , that 's a good point .
Grad B: Two copies .
Postdoc E: Yeah .
PhD A: Oh !
Grad B: One offsite , one onsite .
PhD A: Oh ! Hunh !
Professor D: S
Postdoc E: Now , what will uh Is the plan to g to So stuff will be saved , it 's just that you 're relocating it ? I mean , so we 're gonna get more disk space ? Or did I ?
Grad B: No , the the these are the P - files from Broadcast News , which are regeneratable regeneratable
Postdoc E: OK . Oh , good . I see .
Grad B: um , if we really need to , but we had a lot of them . And for the full , uh , hundred forty hour sets .
Postdoc E: OK .
Grad B: And so they they were two gigabytes per file and we had six of them or something .
PhD C: Yeah .
Postdoc E: Wow . Wow .
Professor D: W w we are getting more space . We are getting , uh , another disk rack and and four thirty - six gigabyte disks . Uh so uh but that 's not gonna happen instantaneously .
Postdoc E: Wonderful .
Grad B: Or maybe six .
Professor D: Or maybe six ?
Grad B: The SUN , ha uh , takes more disks than the Andatico one did . The SUN rack takes {comment} Th - One took four and one took six , or maybe it was eight and twelve . Whatever it was , it was , you know , fifty percent more .
Professor D: How many How much PhD A: Is there a difference in price or something ?
Grad B: Well , what happened is that we we bought all our racks and disks from Andatico for years , according to Dave , and Andatico got bought by another company and doubled their prices .
PhD A: Oh !
PhD C: Oh .
Grad B: And so , uh , we 're looking into other vendors . " We " By " we " of course I mean Dave .
Postdoc E: Wow .
PhD A: Mm - hmm .
Grad B: So .
PhD A: Hmm . I 've been looking at the , uh , Aurora data and , um , first first look at it , there were basically three directories on there that could be moved . One was called Aurora , one was Spanish , which was Carmen 's Spanish stuff , and the other one was , um , SPINE .
Grad B: SPINE .
PhD A: And so , um , I wrote to Dan and he was very concerned that the SPINE stuff was moving to a non - backed - up disk . So , um , I realized that well , probably not all of that should be moved , just the CD - ROM type data , the  the static data . So I moved that , and then um , I asked him to check out and see if it was OK . before I actually deleted the old stuff , um , but I haven't heard back yet . I told him he could delete it if he wanted to , I haven't checked today to see if he 's deleted it or not . And then Carmen 's stuff , I realized that when I had copied all of her stuff to XA , I had copied stuff there that was dynamic data . And so , I had to redo that one and just copy over the static data . And so I need to get with her now and delete the old stuff off the disk . And then I lo haven't done any of the Aurora stuff . I have to meet with , uh , Stephane to do that . So .
Professor D: So , but , uh y you 're figuring you can record another five meetings or something with the space that you 're clearing up from the Broadcast News , but , we have some other disks , some of which you 're using for Aurora , but are we g do we have some other other space now ?
Grad B: Yep . So , so , uh , we have space on the current disk right now , where Meeting Recorder is , and that 's probably enough for about four meetings .
Professor D: Yeah .
PhD A: Is that the one that has is that DC ?
Professor D: Yeah .
Grad B: So . Yep . No , no , well , it 's wherever the Meeting Recorder currently is . I think it 's DI .
PhD A: OK , I but the stuff I 'm moving from Aurora is on the DC disk that we Grad B: I don't remember . Th - I think it 's DC - It 's whatever that one is .
PhD A: OK , DC .
Grad B: I just don't remember , it might be DC .
PhD A: Yeah .
Grad B: And that has enough for about four more meetings right now . Yeah , I mean we were at a hundred percent and then we dropped down to eighty - six for reasons I don't understand .
Professor D: Mm - hmm .
Grad B: Um , someone deleted something somewhere . And so we have some room again . And then with Broadcast News , that 's five or six more meetings , so , you know , we have a couple weeks . Uh , so , yeah , I think I think we 're OK , until we get the new disk .
PhD C: OK .
PhD A: So should , um One question I had for you was , um , we need  we sh probably should move the Aurora an and all that other stuff off of the Meeting Recorder disk . Is there another backed - up disk that you know of that would ?
Grad B: We should put it onto the Broadcast News one . That 's probably the best thing to do . And that way we consolidate Meeting Recorder onto one disk rather than spreading them out .
PhD A: OK . Right . Right . Do you know what happen to know what disk that is off ? OK .
Grad B: No . I mean , I can tell you , I just don't know off the top of my head .
PhD A: Yeah . OK . Alright , I 'll find out from you .
Grad B: But , so we could ' jus just do that at the end of today , once the archive is complete , and I 've verified it .
PhD A: OK .
Grad B: Cuz that 'll give us plenty of disk .
Professor D: Uh , OK , @ @ {comment} So , uh , then I guess th the last thing I 'd had on my my agenda was just to hear hear an update on what what Jose has been doing ,
PhD C: Uh - huh . OK .
Professor D: so
PhD C: I have , eh , The result of my work during the last days .
Professor D: OK .
PhD C: Thank you for your information because I I read . Eh , and the the last , eh , days , eh , I work , eh , in my house , eh , in a lot of ways and thinking , reading eh , different things about the the Meeting Recording project .
Grad B: Yeah .
Professor D: Uh - huh .
