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.
Try a yum clean all. That might help. But if it's as you say, not connected to
the internet, you probably are not running yum at all, so it might not help.
Check your temp-directories and clean out as necessary.

Thanks to all who replied.
/ filled up when my nightly rsync snapshot did something which I'm still
looking into.
I run a nightly rsync script to make copies (to an external HDD
connected via USB) of user data files:
#backup to USB drive location for /home
# /media/bkup is /dev/sdg1 (USB 700GB drive)
rsync -av --delete /home/ /media/bkup
cd
Well, in /media, there were 2 folders, not just one.../bkup and /bkup_
as well as 2 .lock files. I determined which was the last complete
backup and deleted the other... needless to say / space began to
increase, but I'm truly puzzled about why a mount point would take up
space on / when the media is external.
Anyone with insight into my flawed logic, please let me know :)
Thanks for all help and the ongoing knowledge gained from this list.
