That's what I did in a similar situation Chris.
<br />
<br />I plugged in a external USB hard drive and wrote the cmuExport output to it. That way - it didn't affect the filesystem on the failing hard drive. The only thing you chance is causing that drive to fail quicker with the extra work. But what do you have to loose - its already going!

Outch. Yeah, that's not nice of the filesystem. Other options? NFS,
<br />>
sshfs, hooking something up via USB?
