hi there.

i'm having a problem purging files and with the size of my pool.

i'm running version 2.1.2pl0.

in the past, i've modified the $Conf{FullKeepCnt} so that it's more
conservative, and then run BackupPC_nightly, and it's trimmed the pool. 
this is no longer working.

for example, here are the relevant lines from my config file (note that
the $Conf{FullKeepCnt} used to be $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [2,1,1,0,1];:

$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [2];
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax}     = 30;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{IncrAgeMax}     = 30;
$Conf{PartialAgeMax} = 3;
$Conf{IncrFill} = 0;

yet backups are showing like this for a particular host.

112      full    yes     12/16 20:02     78.9    285.5          
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/112
201     full    yes     4/6 20:04       106.1   174.5   
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/201
310     full    yes     7/28 20:00      192.8   61.5    
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/310
338     full    yes     8/25 20:10      184.8   33.5    
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/338
345     full    yes     9/1 20:10       189.9   26.5    
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/345
351     incr    no      9/7 20:04       7.7     20.5    
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/351
352     full    yes     9/8 20:05       210.7   19.5    
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/352
353     incr    no      9/9 20:00       5.2     18.5    
/home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/353

what's going on?

here's the disk space report:

/dev/sda1             147G  135G  4.5G  97% /home/backuppc

as a temporary measure, i think i can manually delete files by, for
example, deleting all the files in /home/backuppc/pc/prettylady/112 (for
the above host)?  and then running nightly?

thanks.
