Mount the partition and "df -i" it.

You have made a mistake whenever the percantage of free inodes is smaller
than the percentage of free space.

NB: If you're using a partition solely for /usr/spool/news, you might use
tunefs to decrease the amount of space held for root. The default is 10%, and
the manual suggests that a reasonable value would be 3% beyond which
performance starts to degrade.
