- We plan to reorganize our News-Server. This service migrates to a new Sun
- and also does the 1 GB Disk which contents the spool area (700 MB) and
- the local-partition (150 MB) including the news/lib Directory with the
- control files. We need then another disk for the SunOS and some other
- partitions. I think about moving the local-partition to this other disk
- and putting the OS on the free area. Will this improve the news-Service
- significantly ?

- Another Question:
- The Berkeley FFS tries to collect files in the same directory in the same
- cyl.group. But in C-news, the file will first been written in the in.coming
- directory and then (clearly) linked to the proper spool-directory - so
- the filesystem isn't in a optimezed state. Will this have bad effects ?
- Can we do something against that ?
