I am in a sticky situation. I run remotely a server and one of the disks
is starting to fail.

Example: assume /usr is the only thing on /dev/sdc1,
/dev/sdd1 (or some partition on another disk) has enough space available for
the /usr directory, and is formatted.
Do: ~# mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
~# mkdir /mnt/usr
~# cp -ax /usr/* /mnt/usr/
~# umount /dev/sdd1
This is a good first start, but not adequate, I think. This
needs to be done when the file system is static. Also,
you don't want a partition named usr on the new partition,
because then when you mount under /usr it comes out as
/usr/usr
I would reboot to single user mode, then...
# mount -o remount,ro /usr
# mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
# rsync -a /usr/ /mnt
# umount /mnt
I didn't check the rest, which I presume is good.
