If you're still working on this, try doing the following recursively:
# cd /
# du -sk *
# cd <biggest disk-space using directory in the output above>
# du -sk *
....
du only works right if you're running as root, otherwise you'll get lots
of permissions errors
I get:
83293106 Backup
814965 admin
5578 bin
20987 boot
2956 dev
11404 etc
2101649 home
49045 lib
13496801 mnt
3 old
du: proc/4071/fd/4: No such file or directory
787989 proc
592873 root
5561 sbin
21 tmp
5382490 usr
321980 var
So if I go into /usr and do it again, I get:
215576 X11R6
148703 bin
4215 doc
0 etc
3128 games
309 i586-mandrake-linux
26957 include
544569 lib
12 libexec
3450933 local
1166 man
20168 sbin
650827 share
315923 src
0 tmp
So now I know that it's /usr/local that's taking up 3.5 of the 5.3GB
used in /usr
