Yes, and I do appreciate all the help, and thanks for your patience. mount | egrep -v "cgroup|rpc|tmpfs|^sys|on /dev|on /proc|on /sys|on /var" /dev/sda1 on / type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) /dev/sdc1 on /media/<sdc1> type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sdd1 on /media/<sdd1> type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sdb1 on /media/<sdb1> type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sda3 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000) /dev/sdf1 on /media/<USER>/4b4696d9-05d4-423f-acfa-707f7148f245 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2) /dev/sdg1 on /media/<USER>/30A3-239E type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=lower,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2) (Note: Changed user name, and names of mount points, for security reasons.) I would just like to resolve this issue before I move on to resizing my partition, and installing Devuan. If this is something bigger than just temporary files (and it seems to me that it is), then creating a bigger root partition will not solve my problems. Like I mentioned before, I had about 2.2 gb of free space on that partition about a month ago, then it gradually shrank down to 165 mb. Something is not right there, I feel.
