	To be honest I checked and didn't see any links. I sort of
figured that would be the right way to do but got confused when I
didn't see any. Now that I've moved message.id to a new filesystem
fetchnews is complaing about

Jun 24 13:00:10 barley fetchnews[964]: error linking /var/spool/news/message.id/364/<394E3BF2.210369A2@xxxxxxxxx> into comp.os.linux.networking: Invalid cross-device link
Every message gets basically the same error [different newsgroups etc
but the same message]

	Is there any easy fix? Right now I'm just going to go back to
having message.id on the same paration. What's the best way to spilt
things between two different filesystems? Can I? FWIW I upgraded to
1.9.14
Thanks

Nick

fundamentally disruptive technology, like the microprocessor and the
Internet? We're betting that it is."
