Okay, this is my weirdest Linux problem yet.

Leaving the system unattended for a few hours, the / partition on my hard drive mysteriously fills up. When I open up KDiskfree, the partition in question shows as 100% used (red line all the way across.)


What's the output of command below?

du -S / |sort -n |tail


I did that command twice.  Here's the output from both...

382540  /usr/games/armyops/Maps
437924  /mnt/sunblossom/workspace/CDRW-Work/SecretaryBird-Support-Disk
457080  /mnt/sunblossom/workspace/Outbound

So, it looks like the problem child is somewhere in my home directory, considering that is the only line that is different between the two.
