SUMMARY---- System Full problem

I want to thank everyone that has been helping me with my problems as
of late.
The system full problem turned out to be the result of one user with
root like privileges dumping
an entire directly set and data on the root file system.

I corrected the problem by copying the contents to another directory
and admonishing the user,
to include taking away his root like privileges.

Thanks again,


Andre'

Do:
find / -mount -newer <somefile> -ls
where <somefile> is a couple of days old, or,
find / -mount -mtime 1 -ls
to find all files modified in last 24 hours. Then you'll see which
files
are very large and new.
