If you only have just those two file systmes, / and /boot, then chances are that the log files are big. 1) Check under /var/log cd /var/log ls -l Check what big files you have there. 2) Check for unread email under /var/spool/mail or /var/mail cd /var/spool/mail ls -l remove big email files. 3) Check what directories are using more space with: cd / du -sk * | more It will show you how many KB each directory under / is using. Then cd to each one and check again with du -sk * to see how much space the subdirectories are using. Then, you can isolate the file(s) that are using big space. Next time, create a separate file system for /var.
