[news.software.b] mongo directory diagnostic

news@m2xenix.UUCP (news aka randy) (10/02/89)

So, I keep getting this lovely little message from a cron job
    Huge directory /spool/news/news/groups --call administrator
and if I
    du /spool/news/news
I get a similar message.

So, I mv the articles out, create a new directory, and rebuild.  Everything is
fine until the next day when it happens in a different newsgroup.  Any ideas?

BTW, this system has been running pretty much unchanged except for updates for
many moons, Xenix/386 2.3.2, bnews 2.11.18, ....
