Hi Bob, The reason I suggest having /awips2 mounted to it's own disk is that in order to ingest high volume feeds such as NEXRAD3 and CONDUIT, an SSD is required in order for both the LDM and the EDEX Java processes to read an write data at a fast enough rate. The LDM will write data to /awips2/data_store or /data_store, which will be read and processed by EDEX and then saved to the HDF5 data store in /awips2/edex/data/. To have both of these data directories on the same SSD will allow for the EDEX processes to "keep up" with the high volume of data being requested by the LDM.
