The second.  Cancelling articles in a CNFS buffer doesn't free up any
space; it makes no difference to the buffer whether articles are cancelled
or not.  Space isn't reused until the buffer rolls over.  The only thing
the cancel does is make the article unavailable for retrieval.

There was something wrong with innfeed's reporting of article volume that
caused that information to be unavailable.  I believe this has been fixed
in the latest snapshots.

No, that's used for incoming volume.
