Buy more disk.
It's as cheap as chips.
Point out the small amount that extra disk would pale into comparison with
the enormous cost of your time!

Failing that, have you enough dowtime to re-fragment the table if you add a
new one?

Is the system only running for 3 months because it's then moving to SQL
Server or something?
