You may be getting bitten by the log files filling up /var. This is a problem I have had before, myself, so I make it a practice to not keep these logs. Open a terminal and su to root root# emacs /etc/logrotate.conf emacs will open the /etc/logrotate.conf for editing. Change anything that says "weekly" to "daily" Change anything that says "monthly" to "weekly" If it says "rotate 4" change it to "rotate 1" Save the buffer and exit. If logs are what causes the problem, this will go a long way to solving it. You should also be able to go to /var/log and remove any backup copies of the logs (the ones that end in .gz)
