We've been running news for a week or two now, and curently have about 40Mb of spooled items on disc (and we're not even recieving rec!). Problem is, expire has ceased to work, it bombs out with a 'dbm store exhausted' error message when I run it. Since dbm databases are supposed to be capable of growing to be a billion blocks, I assume that this message is really caused by the fact that a key/value pairs are supposed to be no more than a block, or that all entries which hash together must be no more than a block. Is there a compilation parameter I should change to cure this? Thanks, John Grogan. ------------------- jgrogan@abcl.co.uk ...!uunet!mcsun!ukc!acorn!abccam!jgrogan
