Hi,
1. /etc/lvmconf
You can - in principal - remove the .old files, but as long as the volumegroups exist ... they WILL reappear, so don't do it. However, if any of the volumegroups do no longer exist (!! check first !!), you may remove all it's files under /etc/lvmconf.

2. /var/tmp
You may clean underneath this directory. Running processes may have files there, but old files may be removed ...

3. Search the forums for "root filesystem full", there's lots of threads and lots of tips there.

4. Search for "core" files. These can get very big and do definitely not belong in the root filesystem.

Hope this gets you started,
Tom

Another thing to check when / fills up is /dev/rmt directory. Make sure that there are not any files named om in there. The usual cause is someone mistakenly did a tar to /dev/rmt/om rather than /dev/rmt/0m.

If you want to gain space that matters look for large(r) files. Like 'core' files:
find / -xdev -name core -exec rm {} \;
Look for regular files in /dev:
find /dev -type f -exec ll {} \;
You can use SAM Routine Taske to trim logfiles.
Check for unusual/large files in / (ll/).
Also remove old patch backups with cleanup (available thru patch).

Regards,
Trond

If those are your only three file systems, then that could explain everything, because you must have all kinds of stuff under root. You show root (/) as having 840 megs of data, which means your file system layout is POOR. I'd suggest a rebuild of your system following some general standards.
