Here's a generic way to find out: $ cd / $ du -shx * # Summarise disk usage for this filesystem $ cd <large-directory> $ du -shx * # ...and repeat as necessary. Once you've found the culprit, consider assigning a partition to it, copying over the data (in single-user mode), removing it from the root filesystem, then mounting the new partition onto where the old data was.
