hello,
I'm using NNTPCACHE 2.3.3 installed
in
a FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE.
Problem that I seem unable to
correct...
1) The cache.history file keeps growing (close
to
1 gig and running out of space). Is there
a way
(command or program ) to trim
this occasionally? How do I manage
the cache
effectively.
2) nntpcache does not seem to expire articles
properly.
my nntpache.config file relevant to expiration of
articles.
# expire if there are under this number of blocks in the cache
partition
minBlocksFree 1000
# run expire if there are under this number of inodes in the
cache partition
minFilesFree 1000 # don't let the history file grow larger than this
(bytes)
hisHighWater 60M # when it does, trim it back to this (bytes)
hisLowWater 40M # When we do an expire, kill articles older than
this
maxArtAge 2w # check disk space, etc for automatic expiry this often
# (but only after a client connects or disconnects) expireCheckPeriod 5m I believe expiration should be automatic, and it is controlled
by the above
configuration lines. But when I looked at my cached
dir.

two weeks. Are they not supposed to have been
gone
since my nntpcache.config file says maxArtAge 2w.
Can anyone enlighten me on this. Any manpages or
links
or ideas?
3) How do I read the nntpcache.stats and nntpcached.core
files.
4) Where do I get guidelines on how to effectively manage
nntpcache.
Thanks everyone
