ubuntu server slowly filling up
- by Crash893
We had our samba server (ubuntu 8.04 ltr) share fill up the other day but when I went to look at it I cant see any of the shares have to much on them
we have 5 group shares
and then each users has an individual share
one users has 22gigs of stuff a few others have 10-20mb of stuff and everyone else is empty
so maybe like 26gigs total
I deleted a few files yesterday and freed up about 250mb of space
today when i checked it it was completely full again and i deleted some older files and freed up about 170mb of stuff but i can watch it slowly creep down in free space.
I keep running a df -h

what can I do to try to hunt down whats taking up so much of my hdd?
