rotate your log files. if they are not being rotated, they are probably rather large at this point. also, is this machine a mailserver? my earlier query about it being redhat (which i see it is by reading further) is because redhat does some really (imho) silly things with their default partitions. i'm of the opinion that / /var /usr and /home should all be seperate partitions. redhat doesn't do it that way, and as a result, i see a lot of redhat boxes get into a state where the root partition is crowded. also, a lot of useless rpm data is stored in /var. as for the phantom space, dunno off the top of my head. i'd have to take a look. brandon probably has a better idea of what to look for in regards to that. > I've thought about rebooting to see if the system has some space that > it is not freeing up, but am loathe to kill one of my user's jobs that > has been running in the background.
