Try:
# cd /
# du -h -d 1 -I usr

This should tell you how much space each file/dir is using in /,
excluding, the 'usr'.  Some  of  the other dirs are bound to be
mounted filesystems, but ignore those.  Exluding 'usr' just saves
a lot of time, as `du' doesn't have to calculate that beast of a
filesystem.
