Sorry to be rehashing an old news thread, Entire came online shortly after the
discussions on comp.bugs and news.software.  (enough said :-)

I have been fighting the inode problem in our news partition, since we started.
At the moment I am able to keep it at bay by umount/mount-ing the partition once
a day following the expire runs.  I have seen bits and pieces of information 
about this problem surface on the net.

What I am wondering is: Has anyone out there remember/still have the end result
of the discussions about the bug.  Was there ever a "patch" for the kernel
files?  Please e-mail me any information you can uncover, it is not necessary
to rehash this problem on the net.  Your help is appreciated.  

We are running ISC's System V.3 on a 80386 box.  We have source for the kernel.
Thank you.
