+1 on what Tim said to identify the folder tree that's hogging the most disk (e.g., /home). Next step then would be to take the culprit, move it to a different disk, and tell fstab to mount it at boot.

Look for the biggest user of space and cd into that directory
(e.g. /home)
run the "du" command above again,

Does anyone have suggestions on how to free up space   on a RedHat
RHEL 5 system?


It is an   ext3  file system

It's  root partition is totally (100%) full


/var   is on a separate partition.


I cannot seem to locate any unnecessary file to delete.


Any ideas?


Thanks!
