I'm using nntpcache 2.4.0b3 on an HP-UX system. My entry in nntpcache.config for maxArtAge is 2w. However, I'm seeing that expire is running as soon as a client re-connects. The message in my syslog file looks like: Feb 29 12:58:40 nntpcache-expire[13405]: expire.c:211: usedblocks = 70.2%, \ usedinodes = 30.5%, maxArtAge = 41s, expire ended My other entries related to expire are set to the following values: # run expire if there are under this number of inodes in the cache partition minFilesFreePercent 10 # expire if there are under this number of blocks free in the cache partition minBlocksFreePercent 10 # check disk space, etc for automatic expiry this often # (but only after a client connects or disconnects) expireCheckPeriod 5m Any idea what is triggering expire to run? Thanks.
