[Pan-users] Can someone explain how the disk cache works ?

[Bernard DEBREIL]

Hi to everyone !

My disk cache is set to 20 MB. However, the size of the directory 
~/.pan/data/cache keeps growing as I update newsgroups daily. It has now 
reached 28376 KB (that is what a 'du cache' gives me), which is well over 
20 MB. What is happening ?  I thought that the cache maximum size was not 
to exceed 20 MB, and that, upon filling new date, the system would erase 
the older files...

Thanks in advance for some explanations of what goes wrong, or what I 
have misunderstood...
