Neither rmgroup or purgegroups will recover the space 'unless' you run a
tellnews rebuild_piles which
I don't recommend as it can take several hours unless you have a fairly
small spool?
ChrisP.
The above stmt bothers me. As bogus groups and many others like foreign ngs
gather up valuable space
on my hds I had previously supposed, and hoped, that a rmgroup would
eliminate them and the real estate
they hog.
The stmt by Chris indicates it doesn't!! Do you mean to say that without
doing a rebuild_piles(which I am
not sure of since I don't understand "PILES" all that well or if it applies)
that I can't recover or even reuse
the wasted space by a non-entity like a removed ng?
What is the suggested strategy? Is there another method? No updates in place
to remove dead gas?
How about the old technique to copy the whole spool over to another
folder/directory? Will that work?
Lots of questions here all . Help..
