Hello!
        My INN 1.4 sometimes "throttles" because of "No space left on device
writing article file" although "df" shows plenty of space. I HAVE checked
free inodes and there is plenty of them. I suspect that this behaviour
could be a result of distribution of data among volumes in file domain?
It is not balanced:

Vol 512-Blks Free % Used Cmode Rblks Wblks Vol Name
   1 4110480 1647264 60% on 128 128 /dev/rz8c
   2L 4110480 1901712 54% on 128 128 /dev/rz12c
   3 4110480 519360 87% on 128 128 /dev/rz6c
      ---------- ---------- ------
        12331440 4068336 67%

Volume 3 is 87% full and maybe whole file domain cannot be used when Vol 3
gets full, is it how it works?
Anyway, I tried to use "balance domain" to redistribute data among volumes
but it had no effect at all. After an hour or so command ends with
"balance: Balanced domain domain_name" but distribution of data stays the
same. I was advised that I shold backup all data, format disks, and restore
data to achieve balance. Is there any other way?
        Thanx
