all of the piles have free disk space. only 10% is being used so far ...
It also expires articles in groups which have exceeded the max number of items in a group. I suspect this will be causing the few you are seeing.

: why does DNEWS expire articles even when there is lot of free disk space?
Articles are expired based on the pile settings.
:
: for example look below:
:
: Spawned Expire started at Sun Oct 3 02:00:02 2004 Done, start 19% end 19%
: Processed 15189645 removed 297089 deleting 6950/0/6950 speed 41076.7 pass 0
: Pile hist_mins 5, xover_mins 5, resort_mins 7, nold 0, pilegone 0, fillin 0, copy 0, cancel=0
: Expire finished at: Sun Oct 3 02:18:28 2004, Elapsed 0 hours, 18 minutes
:
: in dnews.conf, i set too_old to 9999
:
I believe that refers to the age of articles that Dnews will suck and not the age that they will be kept.
