[net.news.adm] Disk full on uwvax

Gee, when we started spooling news on this filesystem, there were
50 Mbytes free...

Anyway, /usr, including /usr/spool filled up on uwvax at 23:18 CST
on Apr 24.  Through a quirk of fate, I happened to be logged in at
the time and made things reasonable by 23:28 (I removed two vmcore
files).

From what I can tell, we weren't receiving any uucp mail from anyone
at the time, however, we were sending batches of news at the time.

If you posted something late this evening and uwvax is your feed (you
know who you are), you might want to post again.  I think a batch
to seismo got canned.

p.s.  sendmail isn't all bad -- it runs as root, so a number of messages
   that got queued during that time *didn't* get lost.
