Thank you for pointing out that this is not a technical problem.

I'm fortunate I guess in that where I work the DBA's (or rather, DBA) is part of the infrastructure team, as well as apps.

We have mutual respect for each others abilities and try very hard to avoid causing problems for the other guy.

ie. They would *never* delete archive logs. I know this for a fact because they always determine first why a drive is filling up, and then talk to the responsible party to determine what can be done about it.
