     My news server is staring me in the face right now telling me "yup" 
I'm at 72% storage capacity and 90% inode capacity, "well you better do 
something". 

	I better. Being a first time new server runner and BSD operator 
(although I use Linux extensivly) I am not positive what I can do.

	I suppose I can't change my nomber of inodes w/o reformatting the 
drive right? If that's true does anyone know how to back up a news server?

	The other thing I'd like to know is how should I make the file 
systems this time to avoid the problem? Block size, inodes, anything else 
I should do now the I have this "opportunity" to reformat my disk.

	Oh, the last thing is there some way for me to see the parameters 
of my drive right now? I would like to know the block size and some other 
info.

Thank You!!!
