I have a UNIXPC 7300 with unix 3.51 running Cnews. I have a 40 meg disk
so I expire articles quickly. In my explist the last field on each
line is " - ". I thought that this meant not to archive anything.
Never the less, I keep getting messages in the mails saying that due to
space limitations expire is being run with the -h option and that archive
files are being retained in the news spool. After getting this message
I ran df and there were 17252 blocks shown free. Can anyone tell me:
1. Why am I getting this message?
2. Does it mean that any files that I have expired are being kept
on the disk?
3. The message also says that urgent human action is required. What
action am I supposed to take?
thanks for any replies. -- cjp at ursaco.beartrack.com
