Problem with history

I was referring to the size of the hash and index files in comparison with
the size of the 'history' file...the example I showed the history file was
zero length, but the hash and index files were 10s of megs...

I've emptied my spool and am allowing it to repopulate. However, when it was
started to fail the disk space stats were:

/etc/news                                    803424 Kbytes available
(83.3%)
/var/lib/news                                 39660 Kbytes available
(15.9%)
/var/log/news                                 73328 Kbytes available
(37.0%)
/var/spool/news/articles                     154710 Kbytes available
(68.7%)
/var/spool/news/incoming                     154710 Kbytes available
(68.7%)
/var/spool/news/outgoing                     154710 Kbytes available
(68.7%)
/var/spool/news/overview                     154710 Kbytes available
(68.7%)

Since then, I've moved /var/lib/news to its own partition, with a size of
200 Meg.
