Regarding disk space management, is there any way for fred to know how full the current partition is? Not just how much space it is using for itself. I suspect not due to java and cross-platform issues. But in my view, disk space is like RAM. If it is empty it is wasted. Cache something in it! Can fred be made to take, say, 75% (just to provide a large safe buffer, perhaps this should be configurable) of all the free disk space and monitor the disk space (a check once a minute would probably suffice) and shrink the store if it sees the system getting low or grow if it sees there is plenty of disk? I currently have 30G free but it won't always be that way. Every so often I use LVM to resize the partition depending on my current disk space needs. -- Tracy Reed http://www.ultraviolet.org
