Spring 2025 disk DST cleanup

PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS POSTING SO THAT YOU DON'T LOSE ACCESS TO DATA YOUR ARE WORKING ON! Prompt feedback is requested by the end of next week so that we can proceed within a couple weeks...

It's time for a thorough cleanup of disk space to make room for hot datasets. To that end, I've compiled a very long list, linked here and below, of datasets on disk which may be targets for deletion, starting with MuDsts, then PicoDsts. I have used the following documents of in-use datasets, but I will note that there are numerous entries in these tables with missing information like file streams of interest, MuDst vs. PicoDst, or even production tags!! Please look carefully for your datasets below, and particularly if there's a "?" next to it, indicating there is unclear information provided by the PWGs. I expect I will need to update this list as I get some feedback. However, I do not plan to maintain my blog for long, so it is important that analyzers keep the information on the PWG lists (above) up-to-date!

Here we go...

P24ia and other P24i* production MuDsts may be of interest, but not shown on PWG lists...probably because they haven't been updated in a while
