Well, I don't think that this client will move up to Win 2K3, OS-wise in
the near future. So what to do in the meantime?

Charles -

I would regard this as an outgrowth issue, where the amount of data
has outgrown the now-very-old Windows 2000 operating system within
which the data lives.  W2K is known to have a variety of memory
address capacity issues.  Nature is telling your shop that it is time
for that data to live under a modern operating system, with the
capacity to handle it.

The other, best alternative is to subdivide the file system.
Partitions are good things, to help better organize data and limit
the impact of damage to any one file system (logical corruption,
media surface damage, etc.).  Too many work groups think that
creating a single file system on a very large disk is a great
implementation approach, without realizing the ramifications.  IT
groups should guide such departments in best disk utilization, to
prevent whimsical, problematic implementations.
