I have seen this -- specifically on the filesystem where news is
stored. I have rebuilt the filesystem with new parameters to increase
the number of inodes but I have still seen it when there is a lot of
news. This was under 3.x, 4.x. I increased the number of maxusers but
I think it could still happen.
As illustration, here is the report from df -i:
Filesystem Total kbytes kbytes % inodes inodes %
node kbytes used free used used free used Mounted on
/dev/rz0e 125015 77712 34801 69% 25047 7721 76% /var/spool
