so hmmm what could be filling it up?

/home/user # cd /
/ # ls
bin/ etc/ lost+found/ opt/ sbin/ tmp/
boot/ home/ media/ proc/ srv/ usr/
dev/ lib/ mnt/ root@ sys/ var/
/ # du -s *
457 bin
1 boot
8 dev
253 etc
5 home
4014 lib
12 lost+found
408689 media
6341 mnt
1 opt
0 proc
0 root
833 sbin
1 srv
0 sys
4 tmp
41702 usr
1506 var


is this something I did or something wrong with this daily?

I always suspect /var, myself, but I don't see any big logs.
there's a bit of space used in /var/lib for dpkg.

I'm not sure what this linux is supposed to look like so... not sure where to look for the problem.

# cd /usr
/usr # du -s *
6784 bin
1 include
17137 lib
10 local
1288 sbin
16439 share
42 var


I await your advice :-) why is / full? what is /dev/loop0? why is it so small? will the answer be "42"???
