The recent time warp posting spates have run our system against the inode
limit.  News' partition inode usage exceeds space usage by 3-5%.  I wonder if
we can get away w/freeing inodes by a brute force rm'ing of cancel msgs from
control.  Something like egrep ...|xargs ...|rm ...  Would expiration object?
Any other gotchya's?  We're running Dec. patched cnews.
