First of all, try to track down where all the space has gone, by
using `df' and `du' with the -x option. For example, you can get
a good idea of which places in your root filesystem are the top-10
users of space with:
# cd /
# du -xm . | sort -nr | head -10
If this doesn't show up a lot of stuff, then there's probably a
rogue process which has opened a file and then removed it, so
it's not directly visible by traversing the tree with `du', but
you can still look for it with:
# fstat -f / | sort -k +8
After you get this sort of information, we can make more informed
suggestions about the best way to move forward :)
