No - nfsen always refers to it's internal balance, even it may be shifted. It
it were counting too much in adding the file size, it also would counting too
much when deleting files.( Symetric problem
) therefore it never will delete all files.
Anyway this may also be FS dependent and the way, how the file space is
counted. NfSen relies on what the OS reports. I don't think your are at risk
using internal expire, I do that since ever, since
very first version of nfsen. 1.3 will have a channel based size calculation
which can be more easily rebuild, just in case something gets wrong.
