A friend's machine just had his / partition goto zero percent free. This is an ext3 partition. Not an hour ago he had over 5 gigs free on an 8 gig partition. Any ideas where to look? The logs don't show anything unusual.

find / -size +10M | xargs ls -l > big.files
Adjust as needed. start from / to catch log files, etc in the 'wrong' place.

Hummmm, sounds like something that happened to me when I first tried to install software raid and had no clue what I was doing...it loaded up the hard drives like that...mount points etc I think... but it's an outside shot of where the problem might be.
something might be misconfigured
