Thanks - but I know about that and it's turned on.  The problem is that
this node has only about 3G available for tahoe, and the rate of people
storing files in the pubgrid, even with expiring leases at 30 days, is
such that it ends up full.   That results in only the 1G I have
configured as minfree being left, which is fine in terms of protecting
the host from tahoe, but it does not succeed in having a usable node for
my own use in the pubgrid.
