I have just discovered (surprise!) that there are not enough
inodes in my newsspool.  I check the man page for newfs to see
what I had to do, and I still have some questions...

Can I just specify a -i argument and depend on defaults for the rest?

Will this procedure work?
	1. dump /dev/sd0d
	2. umount /dev/sd0d
	3. newfs -i 1024 /dev/sd0d
	4. mount /dev/sd0d /var/spool/news
	5. restore /dev/sd0d

Thanks,
-David
