Do this as root to get an idea of where the disk is being used: # cd / # du -hs * cd into the directory that is the largest and repeat if necessary. > to find sources of disk usage I find a /var/log/lastlog is 1.2 TB > (impossible). Could this be my problem? Anyone know how to fix this? No, this is not a problem. Try this: # du -hs /var/log/lastlog This is a sparse file, which means it is actually not 1.2 TB, as it cannot be. However, the last bit of data occurs at an offset of about 1.2 TB in the file. There is a lot of space in between which is not actually populated with data. Some tools do not handle sparse files well, for instance tar. Be careful not to try to back this file up : ).
