Hi all,
Please pardon my newbie-ness on this issue....I've a / partition which
is full (quite suddenly, actually) and I'm not sure how to fix this.
I've searched for uneeded logs, etc in /var/log and /tmp to no avail.
The system is CentOS 5.2 and is not connected to the internet, serves
as a local LAN server running stock stuff...sendmail, dovecot,
apache..nothing strange or special going on.
I have additional HDDs available if growing the partition is in order
(would appreciate pointers to that, if applicable), but I'm really
stumped as to where the space is being eaten up.
Thanks in advance,

I'm working myself out of one those unhappy situations right now. The
way I always start is to pick some arbitrary value of file size, larger
than which there will (or should) be a very small number of files and then:
# find / -size +2G -print
...which will present me with a list of candidates for removal.
