Now that 5pre is out, I'm seeing my datastore filling rapidly. 3 days ago I started

the box the node is on. I don't expect the new disk to last long given the rate
things are going. I've been
running a persistent node most of the time for the past two years and I've seen
nothing like it before.
Impressive!
My question concerns how I can determine if files are rotating out of my ds
prematurely. Clearly if the 2GB drive
fills in 8 or 10 days it means that I'm dumping files that ought to be around
longer. On the other hand, if I
pull an unused 40GB drive off the shelf and put that in the node it should last a
while, but ultimately files
will once again begin to spill off. Is there a facility in the nodestatus servlet or
elsewhere that will tell me
the age of files currently being dumped out of the ds? It's probably there, but I
can't find it and it would be
helpful to know this as a guide to deciding when to drop more diskspace on the node.
I could OTH use ls in the
shell to view files by age but this will have to span the (native) ds directories
and since the node software
must itself be sorting files by age hopefully it can let us in on this info?
Freenet expects some old data to roll off. Much of it will be simply too
far from your specialization to be found by the network, and probably
kept around somewhere else. Just add as much as you feel comfortable
with.
