Heh. I stopped taking alt.binaries.* and reduced expire on alt.* with some exceptions and my spool still fits on 2 2GB Baracudas. And I'm still keeping 7 days or more of most big-8 groups. This is a 7-year-old server. News is still not all that big if you get rid of the junk that just doesn't belong there. BTW, is 7 years of full-time news without a failure a record for disk longevity? -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
