Yes and no. A lot of the data is scratch, so within a month or so, I
could delete most of it and copy the rest off.... but I wanted to
move faster than that :)
Deactivating the ost would be preferable anyway, it would mean my
dump would be almost 100% up-to-date. I've been trawling the
documentation, how do you deactivate an ost (stop new files being
written to it) while keeping it online (allowing existing files to be
read)?
Thanks
Stu.

How many other OSS's do you have, and do you have enough space to just
migrate the data off the ost? You can copy all the files you know are
on the ost, and then remove the original. If you deactivate the
failing
ost on the MDS, no new files will get placed there. Once you have
everything off the ost, the final dump/restore should go fairly
quickly
