Hi Linus,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I was wondering if there is any other method other than fsck as for fsck we need to unmount the filesystem( please correct me if I'm wrong), this machine is a server and can't be brought down.Is there any way to umount the fs for fsck as "umount -f /var " generated error message "device is busy".
The size of the fs is grown today to 88% from 87% , I've taken the output of "du /var" to a file and I plan to take the output tomorrow as I'm not understanding which files are causing the increase in the size. Could there be a symbolic link which could cause this problem? Is there any way we can find the list of symbolic links we have on the system.
I'd appreciate if you can help me out.
Thanks,
Peram

Let me be more specific. Try running fsck. You may have some corruption
in the filesystem.
