Well, I checked /tmp and it was consistent at 5.2 megs through out the whole ordeal. I'm running the VMWare GSX Virtual servers as my username and /root is only 23 or so megs. I could not for the life of me figure out what was growing. So, I did a du -ahL and exported that to a text file, then ran both VMWare sessions and when the / partition was growing considerable, I saved the output of du -ahL to another text file and diffed the two. The only change between them was /proc/kcore. So I ASS'U'ME'Ed (:-P)that was the case. I must admit I am learning Linux somewhat, so I apologize if I may misinterpret some information I see.
I did not notice any additional Extra files in the / partition, however, there are several directories under that that I was not able to check before I had to shut down the GSX server before / went to 0%. If you or any one has experienced this, HELP!!!.. BTW, I'm running RH 7.3 on the server, if that helps...
