root is full

[Will Prater]

Thanks all for the abundance of replys. Looks like you all had the same 
idea.

Before I got your emails I found out the problem. I had another 
partition for backups mounted on the root level. I had forgot to add an 
entry to /etc/fstab. Things were running fine for weeks, however, there 
was a crash and when it came back online the /backup existed on the 
root.


Thanks!
