Keywords: cnews expire trouble problems Organization: University of Illinois, Dept. of Comp. Sci., Urbana, IL Date: Tue, 23 Apr 91 17:08:25 GMT Lines: 43 Hi, Today is April 23. I have some files like these: 57837 39 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 39906 Apr 15 09:34 ./1179 57675 30 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 30310 Apr 15 09:35 ./1180 57678 24 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 24299 Apr 15 09:35 ./1181 57681 1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 465 Apr 15 09:40 ./1182 57691 1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 468 Apr 15 09:40 ./1183 57762 30 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 30314 Apr 15 09:41 ./1184 57838 30 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 30308 Apr 15 09:41 ./1185 57839 30 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 30315 Apr 15 09:41 ./1186 57840 30 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news notes 30309 Apr 15 09:42 ./1187 (I even have some that are older!) They are in a local newsgroup called uiuc.cs.maint.nfs . Looking at the explist, I show: uiuc.cs.maint.nfs x 4-7 - Now, from what I know, this means that the articles will be removed from our disk in 4 days, but as you can see it's not happening. Can anyone explain why? -Mike P.S. here is a sample header from a file, specifically file 1183 listed above: From: root@cs.uiuc.edu Date: 14 Apr 91 23:43 CDT Newsgroups: uiuc.cs.maint.nfs Subject: Outbound a.cs.uiuc.edu:/usr/dcs/sun Message-ID: <78007042@m.cs.uiuc.edu> Path: m.cs.uiuc.edu!m.cs.uiuc.edu!seefromline Nf-ID: #N:m.cs.uiuc.edu:78007042:000:167 Nf-From: cs.uiuc.edu!root Apr 14 23:43:00 1991 (text here) -Mike Schwager | Machine: Amiga 500, 3 MB RAM/30 HD INTERNET:schwager@cs.uiuc.edu | Bike: '83 Kawasaki KZ750 LTD UUCP:{uunet|convex|pur-ee}!uiucdcs!schwager| Band: Poi Dog Pondering // BITNET:schwager@mike.cs.uiuc.edu | Hero: Robert Bly \\ // University of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.
