Thanks for the tip. I guess in the back of my mind, I was aware of disk
monitoring, but we always had lots of disk space, so it didn't seem an issue.
The consumption of disk space in this case was rapid and unexpected. I was
hoping to find a way to recover the damaged mailboxes (aside from tape), but
it looks like I'm out of luck.

Imail monitor has the ability to monitor free disk space and email/page you
when it drops below the minimum amount you specify (per logical disk). We
use it, works great!
