For that number of people I strongly recomment you purchase CVS Suite
and Support - if your software stops working or you need support you are
going to be losing a lot of people's time.  Besides it just makes sense
to financially support software that your business relies on.

You cannot - that is why linux has logical volumes - so that a volume
can be extended without affecting the application that use it.

The only alternative is to create a new repository on a different disk
and move the existing directory to the new repository/disk (but the user
will need to use a new CVSROOT to checkout from this new repository).
