Hello,

We are using the Areadetector 2-6 and ADPilatus 2-1 at Diamond's B21 beamline. Everything works fine except that the ramdisk keeps filling up.

The driver is writing images to the ramdisk and the HDF5 plugin is being used to write the data to our user folders. The HDF5 plugin has DeleteDriverFile enabled and the driver XML attributes file contains a DriverFileName entry. This does result in some percentage of the TIFF files being deleted as images are committed to HDF but not all of them.

For example in a 620 image acquisition with 3 second exposures, a little over 200 were deleted and the rest remain on the ram disk. Another example of 10 frames at 1 second exposure varied from 2 to 8 files being deleted.

Has anyone seen a similar issue?

Thanks,

giles
