[tor.news] Potential news loss at torsqnt

david@torsqnt.UUCP (David Haynes) (12/06/89)

Torsqnt experienced a filled spool area last night. Silly me, I thought
60 Mb would be enough! Some downstream sites may be affected if they are
not running dual inbound feeds. I have moved the spool to a 120 Mb area
and hope that this will not happen again. 

To the administrators of hybrid and tmsoft, you are not answering your
modems. Please try to fix this asap as I have in excess of 150 compressed
news packets waiting for you.

I used to marvel at how much disk various large sites used to dedicate
for spool and news.  Now I find space is tight even though we've
got news on it's own 130 MB partition. The spool partition is 140 MB on
gpu, and 225 MB on ugw.  It's barely enough to weather mail and news floods.
