Unfortunately, using a symbolic link to add disk space to the
netnews tree would make newsgroups in that portion of the tree
impossible to cross-post to from the rest of the tree (on your
site), because cross-posting is represented in the filesystem with
hard links, and they don't work across filesystems...
