First start to see if anything unusual is filling the disk.  Look for
large files.  For example, this will find all files over 100MB in size:
# find / -size +100000k -exec ls -l {} \;

Do you have any reports to show the growth over time?  Did you suddenly
lose a lot of space or has it been slowing growing until it filled?
