Hmm that didn't work so well. I grabbed a spare 20GB RAID and mounted it
under /usr/local/news/spool2 . I then copied over10 though over15 over to
the new drive an updated buffindexd.conf so the paths were corrected.

A restart however resulted in:

Nov 10 02:24:33 lust innd: buffindexed: Path mismatch: read
/usr/local/news/spool/overview/over10 for buffindexed 
/usr/local/news/spool2/over10
Nov 10 02:24:33 lust innd: SERVER cant open overview method

I tried various combos but it didn't seem to work. I ended up just backing
out but it's a bit strange. Is the above correct behavour? Should I be
able to move overview buffers around and just change the path in
buffindexd.conf for them to work?
