Hi,

I've been rummaging through the mailing list-archives to see if any one
else had this problem, and it seemed fairly prevalent a few years ago.
We have DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS set to 7, along with the re-usedelay option,
but expiration doesn't delete up the DBvols older than then 7 days.
I checked out the drmedia details of the vols and the 'state' was set to
courier for some reason. I thought perhaps this might be why the vols
aren't expiring, so I 'move drm <vol> wherest=courier' to get them VAULT
from where I had expected them to expire, ran expiration and they're still
in the volhist table.

As recommended, I don't want to start manually deleting these volumes from
the volhist table as they are managed by DRM, but they aren't expiring, so
I'm going round in a circle.

Odds are I've missed something obvious, but it's doesn't feel like it at
the moment.

Thanks,
Matthew
