When running xfs_repair I get a "ran out of disk space!!" error.  I realize
this is because there isn't enough space on the disk to do the repair.

I did a quick search of the archives and I found someone else with this
problem but they were told it was "expected" behavior.

My question is "Is there any way around this?"
Can xfs_repair move the lost+found to a different disk?
Are there any steps to free up some space by copying files off that are
already determined to be good?

Thanks,
Joe

Oh, this is on a production system running kernel 2.4.21 running xfsprogs
2.4.10-0
