a monster stole my /

[Hartleigh Burton]

Hiya!

I have a problem with / currently being at 108% capacity. I have found  
a previous thread in the archives which explains a few questions but I  
can't find what is taking up all the additional space. At best without  
destroying what I still do not understand I can manage to get / to  
about 101% capacity.

To answer a couple of potential questions straight up, there is  
nothing in /root and /tmp is on a separate partition.

intranet# df -h

If I move the old kernel/GENERIC files from /boot I can manage to get  
back to 101%, I really have no idea where the rest of the space has  
gone though. Is there any way to locate large files on a specific  
partition?

I did have a problem not too long ago where my /db array did not mount  
and MySQL managed to recreate the default/sample database on /db/ 
mysql, could this default database be somewhere else on / while the / 
db array problem was fixed?
