of Minutes from the Last Software Meeting</span></h3>
<p>We went over <a

title="GlueX Software Meeting, January 5, 2021">the
minutes from January 5</a>.
</p>
<ul>
<li> The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/halld_recon/issues/495">issue
with single-threaded execution of the reconstruction
test</a>, reported by Alex, was resolved by removing
the profiling option (-p) from the nightly build.</li>
<li> <b>List of cache files where the disk version is
different from that on tape</b>. Mark moved Ashley
Ernst's files on this list to a new location on the
cache disk so that they will be archived to tape. He
will send the complete list to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:halld-offline@jlab.org">halld-offline@jlab.org</a>
after the meeting.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Strategy_for_Handling_Bad_Files_on_Tape">Strategy
for Handling Bad Files on Tape</span></h3>
<p>Mark had summarized the <a rel="nofollow"
class="external text"
href="https://markito3.wordpress.com/tag/gluex-meeting/">status
of the problem tapes</a> at the GlueX Bi-Weekly
Meeting last week. Because of the large number of files
(413,269 of them) on the tapes that were sent to IBM,
some paths of progress have been blocked. Sean went
through the list of files and reported that their
absence is not holding us up seriously right now. The
main problems are missing PS skim files and π<sup>0</sup>
skim files which are needed to finish calibration of
2019-11 data. If the files don't arrive back soon, then
after the current reconstruction batch is done on the
JLab farm he plans to regenerate the critical files.
