Question, can this happen with B-news as well?

We have had some intermittent problems here with an i-node leak on the
news partition here.   [Of course, this was associated with a related
tendency to overflow available resources, so I do not know which came first,
the overflows or the leak].


We are doing fine for now, but I would like to be prepared if it ever
happens again.  (We are OK now because I was forced to rebuild the file
system and added a great many i-nodes).
