Thats easy: back up all the files on /dev/news and run:

	mkfs /dev/news blocks:inodes

As someone pointed out to me, it is normally useless to make inodes
greater than blocks, since each file will use at least one block
(exception is device special files and their ilk).

Make the file system the same size as it was (or you'll have to get
into at least the divvy table if not other issues).

Maybe you should take on fewer news groups or set the expiration 
to fewer days.... You know, you don't have to download
alt.cyberpunk.bondage.bork.bork.bork.
