file system space arg !!! and confused

Aix 5.2 on a P510 RS6000
My /usr filesystem is sized at 3.8 gb. Check me if I'm wrong here but this should be enough space for /usr?

When I installed the o/s I just followed the defaults, didn't add any 3rd party apps, least that I know of.
My problem is that it's running at 90% capacity. Once in awhile I'll reboot the server and it will drop down to 60%. But then slowly but surely it will start climbing back up to 90% and once in awhile I will add space to the filesystem.

I need help in figuring out what's eating up my file system space?
This is driving me a bit batty, I'm tired of fighting it.

I use "find /usr -xdev -mtime 0 -ls" and never find anything that's been added that I wouldn't expect to find, such as log files.

I use "find /usr -xdev -size +2048 -lr | sort -r" to find large files and never find anything that I've not already seen.

I'm asking for troubleshooting tips or hints on solving this problem. I can add space, but like I said once in awhile I'll reboot and it will drop down to 60%, then start climbing back up.

TIA

NAME
wml::all - WML Include Files Of All Categories SYNOPSIS
#use wml::all DESCRIPTION
This includes all existing standard WML include files of all categories. Use it only when you are a really lazy webmaster which just wants all features WML can provide ;-) It is always better to include one of the "wml::xxx::all" include files. The following categories currently exists: Standard (std) Here you can find all standard tagsets which everybody usually uses all the time. Webdesign (des) These are tagsets which help webdesigners of the 3rd generation fighting against the puristic plain HTML. Use with care. Formatting (fmt) Here you can find formatting environments, i.e. usually container tags which do special formatting. Import (imp) Here you can find import tags, i.e. usually tags which import external data and converts them to HTML. Support (sup) Some support stuff which is used in other include files. System (sys) All system related stuff. User (usr) The user specific include files. Should be extended by the webmaster for his users. AUTHOR
