Why there is no space left on root partition?



Hi
I am a newbee to debian linux. I found my root partition is full.
My root partition has 4 GB, but I added the size of files under the root partition, anyway they did not hit the 4GB, not even close.
Where did the space go?

Here is some output which may be useful.
command: du -hcs /*

3.3M                              /bin
5.8M                              /boot
128K                             /dev
23M                               /etc
4.0K                              /fai
893M                             /home

0                                   /vmlinuz
0                                    /vmlinuz.old
7.9G                               total

Command: df

I run df, get the following
Filesystem    1K-blocks    Used       Available     Use%     Mounted on
/dev/hda6     4032092      4032092      0               100%      /

/dev/hda7     4032092     172316       3654952       5%        /var

How can I find the missing space?

Thanks
