Hello,

I am running INN on a BSDI 2.0 system.
Lately our INN has been reporting some strange disk full errors.  From the
daily news report :

Disk usage:
/dev/sd0e      3220914  2431678   467144    84%    /usr/var/spool/news
/dev/sd1a      1388078   164578  1154096    12%    /usr/local/news

Seems like lots of space....

but then later in the report:

sort: No space left on device

Okay.... how about the syslog :

Sep 29 14:15:40 donatello kernel: uid 133 on /: file system full

(uid 133 is user 'news') - this is happening all the time, at least
several times a day.  But the news partitions have plenty of space...

Any ideas?
