Contrary to Martin's suggestion, I did actually set the -a time correctly to N minutes after the current system time, though I guess I didn't imply this. This morning I'm still at 14GB. I mean, I should note that I'm not actually removing any files or anything, and I still have the 25GB of MP3s that were on there at the beginning. So. Still confused and frustrated. > But for some silly reason I keep coming back to Plan 9, and keep > re-loading it on *something*.
