Most often the only way to recover from this situation is by removing articles from the newsbase. By default Expire will keep the old history while creating a new one. As history files may grow very large (even larger when calling Expire with option -r), you should avoid building a new one. Instead call
expire -Cv [add other parameters usually used on expiration]which will not change the size of the exisiting history files, nor create new ones, but simply remove outdated articles and mark them canceled in history.pag.
It's also a good idea to have a different Expire configuration file to be used in emergencies.
expire -Cvc emergency.confThis call instructs Expire to use emergency.conf instead of expire.conf. Use shorter expiration periods in emergency.conf to ensure that enough articles get removed.
