Problem solved. I read on the VMWare site that the files sit in the /tmp directory, but are not visible. This is so nothing can access these files and cause a problem. There for, I was not able to "See" the space being used, but the / filesystem was, infact, being eaten up. I changed the preference

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

Well, as you can see from my first post, /var is already on its own partion.
