Hi,

The jobs are running now, and we already have some output available for anyone to examine to be sure this is doing what you want:

/star/data14/GRID/NFS_FileList/production_pp500_2022_DEV_st_fwd_test_mudst.txt
/star/data14/GRID/NFS_FileList/production_pp500_2022_DEV_st_fwd_test_picodst.txt

I've made some tests and calculations to find that this test production, unless I significantly interrupt the ongoing 3 physics productions, will take 2-4 weeks to process. So....it isn't really all that small. Output would be ~25 TB of MuDsts.
