CNFS and reorganizing buffers on the fly

Hi.

In the move from INN 2.2.1 to 2.2.2, I decided to give CNFS a try versus
the traditional storage method that we had been using.

Now, I've got two areas set up, "alt.binaries.*" and "*".  Now, it seems
after only 12 hours that my 35 Gig of alt.binaries.* has filled and is now
on it's second cycle, while my other 20 Gig of everything else is merely
3% filled, which is nice to retain groups like a.s.r. for longer periods.  
:-)

If you see where I'm going, I want to resize my groupings of buffers.  
Here's the Q:

Can I tell symbolic buffer "BIN" to use more of the cycbuffs, and shrink
symbolic buffer "OTHER" to use less of them?

Can I just edit my metacycbuffs in ~news/etc/cycbuff.conf to size them the
way I think would be best?  Or do I have to blow the current cycbuffs away
and start from scratch?

-Matt.
