Remember, you can always cd to / and issue the command 'du -H' for an 
exhaustive listing of every little file that is taking up space. Or, you 
could issue the command with the switch --max-depth=1 and that will give 
you the space issues one level deep. Very useful...You could even run it in 
cron if you wanted to get tricky...awk the columns you create and check if 
anything gets over 90%...Just an idea...
