If you can take the system down for awhile, the system administrators can
probably write the files to tape, reorganize the disk, then recover the
files from tape. Start the conversation by telling them the system is messed
up because of their incompetency. That should get the ball rolling.
If you can't take the system down long enough for the above, you could move
data files on a priority basis.
