CHAPTER 23 Usenet
23.4 Disk space requirements
A full news feed requires massive amounts of disk space, currently a Gbyte or more of disk space per day and growing rapidly. Also, since the articles are generally smaller than the default inodes/disk space of 2 Kbytes, you may run out of inodes before you run out of disk space. You should anticipate this when you set up the news partition and run newfs with the desired inode density.
