My system has started running very slow, and the root directory is reported as

culprit, being about 1000MB, with today's date, but even root is not allowed
to move or delete this file.
My system looks like this:
Device Size Mount point Free
sda2 965.1MB / 0B
sda3 60.8MB /boot 46.8MB
sda5 9.8GB /usr 4.9GB
sda6 2.0GB /var 1.2GB
sda7 2.0GB /opt 906.3MB
sda8 1011.4MB /tmp 926.4MB
sda9 257.3GB /home 154.1GB
I've been downloading openSUSE 11.0 Alpha1, via ktorrent for the past 24
hours, but other than that I'm only doing what I always do - read email,
news, browse the web, play music.
Hi,
fwiw I experienced such a behaviour with using rsnapshot for backup
purposes. When I began, I foolishly forgot to set "no_create_root 1" in
rsnapshot conf.
Consequently when the backup ran AND the backup disk was not mounted, it
created a directory "/media/backup" and the rsnapshot backup filled this
until my / was 100% full.
You learn something anytime, indeed.
Kind regards
Eberhard
