Thats easy: back up all the files on /dev/news and run: mkfs /dev/news blocks:inodes As someone pointed out to me, it is normally useless to make inodes greater than blocks, since each file will use at least one block (exception is device special files and their ilk). Make the file system the same size as it was (or you'll have to get into at least the divvy table if not other issues). Maybe you should take on fewer news groups or set the expiration to fewer days....
