pile 8 use 15% groups europa.*
pile 9 use 1% groups tin.*
pile 10 use 1% groups hamster.*
pile 11 use 5% groups alt.*
is possible?
Yes, but it's a bit tricky, you do this: Say you want to know the retention of
pile 1
tellnews showdbn >a.a
find "pile 1" a.a >b.b
This gives you a list of buckets for that pile, each with the 'age' listed, then
just find the oldest age (it's in days)
db[1] used 15218953 free 0, disk 0, age=640 pile 1,
db[2] used 9488867 free 2553, disk 0, age=418 pile 1,
db[3] used 9090326 free 0, disk 0, age=265 pile 1,
So for that example the oldest messages are almost 2 years old (640 days)
