You're probably running innd or some other process which has something
under /var/spool/news as it's current directory, hence the first
'device busy' message.  '/sbin/shutdown now' should take care of it
(by putting your machine into single-user mode); I would recommend
shutting down to single-user before any major disk surgery.
