Is there any way in FreeBSD 2.1 to increase the number of inodes on a disk
without losing its contents?

The disk on my news server that takes the incoming spool is regularly
running out of inodes and shutting down processing.I'd like to fix
this WITHOUT losing the other contents of the disk,if this is possible!
