1. I look in my dnews.conf, there is not setting for bucket_size, is its
default size 50mb?
2. So basically, each pile can have multi bucket. And if I all all of the
pile and bucket together (# of pile) * (# of bucket per pile) , that
should be my total disk space?
3. How many pile can I possible have?
4. How can I make a pile (I think you can define a individual pile to
only specified set of newsgroup) to never expire (or at least not for 12
months or more). Let say I want a pile that is dedicated to
microsoft.public.*, and use its as a archieve system, so I don't want any
incoming suck news to expire or deleted for a whole year!
