G'day, I've been testing some news-server talking software, and have come to the conclusion that our server (only used by a few people) is not actually caching articles much. For example, I noticed that after reading the entire content of news:alt.binaries.fonts (about 90 postings), only two articles were actually still in the cache area a few minutes later, and the size of the whole cache area for the upstream server is only about 1.7MB for about 12 groups. I did have maxArtAge set to "4w", but have since changed this. Is 'w' a valid postfix for numbers ? We sit behind an exceedingly slow link to our upstream news server, and the local server in question is a dedicated (old) box. I'd like to see it only ever expire an article when it runs out of space. Last check it had 350M to play with. Here's (AFAIK) the relevant bits from the config. anonMmap yes minFilesFreePercent 30 minBlocksFreePercent 30 hisHighWater 220M hisLowWater 200M maxArtAge 365d expireCheckPeriod 5m overviewFmtTimeout 30d any suggestions? -kt -- Kingsley Turner, (mailto: kingsley@maddogsbreakfast.com.au) http://MadDogsBreakfast.com - Travel Tales: The good, bad, and down-right ugly _______________________________________________ NNTPCache-users mailing list NNTPCache-users@nntpcache.org http://www.nntpcache.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nntpcache-users
