Okay, let me try to rephrase your question -- basically you are trying to take a golden image of a client with a larger HD than that of the image server's HD. The good news is that on your image server, you have an external HD that has enough capacity to hold the client image. If that's the case, then all you need to do is get SystemImager to save the image to the external HD. SystemImager stores all its images to the directory /var/lib/systemimager/images, so perhaps what you can do is move the contents of that directory to your external HD and then mount the external HD as /var/lib/systemimager/images. From then on any images stored in SystemImager will be stored on the external HD instead of the internal HD of your image server. However, that means the external HD need to be pretty much connected to the server all the time for SystemImager to work at all, so take heed of that. Also, since the images are stored on the USB drive, the speed of imaging will take a substantial hit.
