I am using FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE.  I have a 4-Gig Micropolis drive
assigned to INN.  Upon performing the daily cleanup, I notice that the
drive available capacity will increase as files are removed, but the %
inodes used does not decrease accordingly (hardly if any).  Eventually,
I run out of inodes.  Why is it that the inodes are not being free'd
when files are removed?  How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance
