Each line should contain exactly one store path.
</para>
+ <para>
+ The option <option>--min-age</option> specifies a minimum time
+ in hours that an unreachable store path must not have been
+ used before it is considered dead. The default is 0 (consider
+ all unreachable store paths dead). Whether a store path has
+ been used is determined by looking at its access time
+ (<literal>atime</literal>), so this does not work if the store
+ is located on a file system that has the
+ <literal>noatime</literal> option set.
