Yes and no. A lot of the data is scratch, so within a month or so, I

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

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
