OK, forgive the newbie question.  I've got a server that has usage
problems.  Here's the df:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3               497861    497858         0 100% /
/dev/hda1                46636     11700     32528  27% /boot
/dev/hda5             13100844    587388  11847968   5% /home
none                    256272         0    256272   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda6              2063504     33592   1925092   2% /tmp
/dev/hda9             14610932   1523628  12345104  11% /usr
/dev/hda2              5036316    283116   4497368   6% /var
/dev/hda7              2063504     43088   1915596   3% /var/log

I'm not sure what's filling up the root partition, but obviously it's an
issue.  Advice on figuring out what's filling this up and how to bring it
back under control?  Links to Howtos or other documents on this subject? 
I tried to look on the Linux Documentation Project, but nothing there was
obviously related to what I need to learn here.

Thanks,
