    Entry number 138158

    keyword=duplicate DAQ files

    Some data files exist twice or more in MSS.

    The first file is dvcs_Run.dat.0 and the 2nd file is
    called dvcs_Run_2nd.dat.0.   Sometimes also a "3rd", "4th" ..

    Which one is best ? You should look at the byte count,
    look at the halog history and decide yourself. Also I don't
    know why this happened but I suspect the runs are junk and
    some of it was the from the era when the run number refused to change.
    One known reason for the run number to not change is having
    more than one runcontrol GUI active.

    A typical example: run 1181. The first file is 687636480 bytes
    and is probably the one you want. The 2nd file is 32768 bytes
    and is probably spurious. I didn't bother to check halog to
    find out what happened for run 1181, but you will enjoy that...
