Did you look in /var/tmp?
Code:
find /var/ -type -size +10000 -mtime -20 -exec ls -l {} \;

the only thing in /var/tmp is a majordomo.debug file
Code:
tmp]# ls -l |more total 4 -rw-rw---- 1 mail daemon 484 Aug 6 05:19 majordomo.debug Code:
# find /var/ -type -size +10000 -mtime -20 -exec ls -l {} \;
find: invalid argument `-size' to `-type'

Could one safely delete files in /var/lib/ ?
I noticed thats one directory thats using up alot of space. OS/centos 4.x Code:
du -ks * | sort -nr | more 122696 modules 4696 tls 3116 libnss_db.so.2.0.0 2836 kbd 2596 security 2232 libnss_ldap-2.3.4.so 1840 i686 1488 libc-2.3.4.so 928 libcrypto.so.0.9.7a 832 libdb-4.2.so 824 libnss_wins.so.2 784 libpwdb.so.0.61.1 676 libasound.so.2.0.0 476 iptables 296 libdevmapper.a.1.02 292 libpwdb.a 216 libssl.so.0.9.7a 212 libm-2.3.4.so 192 libcidn-2.3.4.so 144 rtkaio 144 firmware |
