Once the partition fills, you will have to stop Sakai, clear out the
indexwork, copy over the files, modify the NODE_STATUS table, and then
restart Sakai, all on the affected node.

In my experience, filling the partition while trying to rebuild the
indexes is "normal" behavior for a new brand-new node or any one that
is really far "behind" compared to the others (or the indexer, in my
case). I haven;t found anyway around it, except to give it unlimited
space -- which I had to do when the indexer node had to rebuild.
