[news.software.b] News Overflow Problems

braun@drivax.UUCP (01/27/87)

I have a couple of questions:

1)	A recent (dramatic) increase in news traffic has caused our news 
	partition to overflow several times.  The resulting problem is that 
	articles which couldn't be fitted in the news directory get created 
	anyways.  I assume that, even tho' the log file records the error,
	News thinks the article has arrived, and therefore it won't be
	transmitted again.  Also, and this is just plain annoying, rn sees
	the created file, tries to display it, and then, well, there's nothing
	to display.  There's just this null article.  The question is: is there
	something I can do to get news/rn to handle this better?

2)	I have notices a lot of "cannot reread article" messages in the log
	file.  They don't seem to be related to 1).  Any ideas what causes
	that?

Thanx for any info
