: The only time I have seen this message is when the server truly is out
: of space.  When there is no room left on a filesystem, the daemon
: throttles input.  Check 'df' and see.  Also, did you newfs the drive
: with the recommended parameters?  There are different settings for
: block size when the drive is to be used for news.  It allows it to
: handle more files.  Check the BSDI book for the recommended parm's.

	actually, you should check df -i instead to check the inodes.
	But this messge is a common bug with BSD/OS 2.0. There is 
	a patch to fix this from ftp.bsdi.com
	I do recommend setting the block size to 512 instead of the	
	default block size.
