I think I can safely rule that one out :)

alan:~$ df /export
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ataraid/d0p1    240196512  29362544 210833968  13% /export

..that's about as full as it's got, well it may have got up to 50GB used.
[NB for now I've switched the partition to reiserfs (didn't fancy the
fsck), but I'll have a very similar box to play with soon.]
