The generic Monte Carlo sample for CLEO II
exceeds 10 Terabytes. To make this data
available to our 200+ collaborators, we have
devised a simple and efficient system of
staging data from tape to a 1 TB disk pool
on a rotating schedule. This arrangement
minimizes tape handling and data transfer
requirements while providing very good data
availability. This system has been in use
since early 1999 and user experience has
been very favorable.
