/ full?

[Tony Hammitt]

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
