The only thing I know that will give you a instant snapshot of what's happening is "mtop". It shows you whayt apps are using your harddrive very similar to top with processes.

I have a CentOS 5.2 box that every few months runs out of drivespace on its root filesystem. Last time I manually searched and deleted some big files, but don't remember what they were or what wrote to them. The applications I'm aware of on the box don't write to /.
Is there a way to find the files that get written to the most, or grow the most over time? Doing a df gives me a snapshot, but it seems clunky to keep track of the diff on that output over time. I can then see what processes write to them. Any other ideas on how to investigate this are welcome.
Thanks much.
