Many eons ago, when I had my 3B1 and running news, I too ran out of i-nodes.
I was told it was a software bug in the UNIX System V code.  Someone also
gave me a tech sheet on the problem.  Last I've heard it's been corrected
in UNIX System V Release 4.  Another rap I heard was to mkfs a file system
for news because of some 64K i-node limit on a single file system.  Dunno
about this.
