Thanks to Johan Brusche, Peter Stern, Tim Cutts, Terry Horsnell,
Howard Arnold, BL Venkatesh, Werner Rost, Marc Schlensog.
The quickest of the various approaches suggested:
touch marker
find /usr -name "*" -newer marker
gives a list which can be monitored to see what is growing. It
points to a culprit directory:
/usr/var/spool/mqueue
which has been filling up in fits and starts. I'll post a further
summary once I've worked out what is doing this.
Cheers
Derek
