We keep the news spool directory on the same partition as the daily backups. Our news feed went down for the weekend, and when they came back up, we of course got a huge dump of news. This happened the night before we tar'd the dailys off to tape, meaning that the partition was at it's fullest. Of course, the file system filled up during the news dump. Now we have bunches of null articles. How does one gracefully recover from an overflowed partition? Is there a way I can retrieve lost articles?
