  The reliable reproduction is the first allocation of a fresh
filesystem..  That is, you newfs it; and the discover bad blocks.

  My news system; as of just a moment ago, was running at 46%:

     Filesystem   1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
     /dev/wd0s1e    1201215   508553   596565    46%    /usr

which is quite far away from 100%... [This is a full news feed, but
I have a short expiry time (1 day) to keep everything in about 500meg.
500meg/day is about all you can push through a 19200 in-coming uucp
feed.]
