Subrun scheme implemented |

What you describe is expected. The logger process maintains a write cache, which is 32 kB under linux and 1 MB under Windows. The size is controlled through the constant TAPE_BUFFER_SIZE defined in midas.h. The reason for this buffer is to optimize writes to disks and tapes and has been carefully optimized to give maximum performance. It means however that data gets written only in 32 kB chunks to disk. That's the reason why your run size is 32kB plus a few bytes. You can change this by modifying TAPE_BUFFER_SIZE, but be aware that this will then slow down your logging of data. |
