Hi, go to the directory /var/log. if you have not written any script to manage your log files, you will see a lot of log files like message.2, message.3 and so on. delete the ones you DONT WANT.
i have also faced this problem many times. the best way to get out of it is to write a script that manages your log files properly. also you can try to shutdown a few services during boot up time that you have not been using at all and wont be using in the future. most of the time, the services also keep creating log files and they lead to such problems. cheers, rahul.
