So there is no way to free some space from journals.
BTW: Why is your root so full, or didn't you partionate your disk?
I did not partitioned it myself. This server is inherited to me from last
admin.

Last week, I was alarmed that / root is 98 percent full. but I could not find
any reason why server is full. and a restart freed 8 gig of space. but now it
is again getting full slowly.
Any comment?

Sebastian may have more and better ideas but if a reboot gave you some space
back, then you should check the tmp directories that are usually cleared when
rebooting. I notice that in your list /tmp takes up 3.8Gb which is a good bit.
May want to see what is in there.
Just my thoughts.
