I've been using Pan 0.139 for a few days and I noticed something. While
it's downloading headers, none of the files in my .pan2 directory
increase in size, nor are any new files added. When Pan is done
downloading headers, it writes them to a file in the .pan2/groups
directory. However it's also writing something to my home directory
before anything turns up in .pan2/groups. I run df in my home directory
(My home directory gets an entire 2TB disk.) and every minute or two it
shows the free space decreasing. This happens when I have no web
browsers, email clients or any other program running except for Pan.
I'm curious where Pan puts this data before it's written to a file in
.pan2/groups. Any ideas?
Here's what I've seen.
delboy@ladmo:~/pan2$ df /home/delboy
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdd2 1922728752 1730809480 191902888 91% /home/delboy
delboy@ladmo:~/pan2$ df /home/delboy
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdd2 1922728752 1730809800 191902568 91% /home/delboy
Thanks
