this was what i suggested for a workaround. if he can't find a bigger tmp space 
and because the archive dir is needed he might split the backend into several 
folders by timeframe so the metadata held in each is smaller than in all of 
them together.

but you are right, finding more tmp space or attaching it should be way more 
easier.
