I'm running INN 1.4, which is probably a stupid thing
to do an an intel type box, but it's all I've got...
Anyway everything's been working great untill last night
when INN shutdown complaining it was out of disk space.
I've still got 70 megs free on the disk, but I noticed in
the log there's the following error:
twitch /netbsd: uid101 on /var/spool/news: out of inodes
I assume inodes are the things that keep info about a
file or someting equally unplesant, and I've run out of
the miserable things... Can this be solved by a simply
kernel rebuild, or am I looking at reformating the
disk, or something even worse?
Thanks alot - James
