Though we are young to the game, we tried to get 'news'
off the 'users' filesystems.
We mounted an RK07 as /usr/spool/news.
(Our daily disk backup was shortened remarkably.)

One small difficulty, though...
We've been having some disk controller trouble,
and guess what got eaten the very morning the disks were to be fully serviced?

Just one site's experiences ...
