I don't think your VMs and videos are filling the root file system; df -h shows 24G in /home and your du says the same.
Rather, I'd suspect a log or spool or some such file from a runaway process. What's the output of sudo du -hx --max=1 /?

Well, there is still something taking up way to much space on your root partition. I'd suggest identifying which root directory contains the bulk of the space being consumed. What is the result of:
(This command will take a bit before it outputs the results)Code:sudo du -h --max-depth=1 --exclude=proc / | sort -hr

Another thing worth checking, although it's a long-shot:
See if anything excessively large shows up in the results.Code:sudo lsof / | grep '(deleted)'

Cleaning the package cache got me about 500Mb back:Code:user@user-office-desktop:~$ dpkg --list | awk '/linux-image/ {print $2}' linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic linux-image-3.2.0-39-generic linux-image-generic
Code:user@user-office-desktop:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 28G 26G 565M 98% / udev 3.9G 12K 3.9G 1% /dev tmpfs 1.6G 872K 1.6G 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 3.9G 216K 3.9G 1% /run/shm overflow 1.0M 60K 964K 6% /tmp /dev/sdb1 932G 559G 373G 60% /media/Family Media Drive /dev/sda1 461M 69M 369M 16% /boot /dev/sda7 415G 18G 377G 5% /home

Sorry 'bout the second command. Use this:
You should clean out the package cache, which will regain you (likely) a lot of space. Type:Code:dpkg --list | awk '/linux-image/ {print $2}'
Code:sudo apt-get --purge autoremove && sudo apt-get clean

the second command doesn't give me anything. Just moves to > on the next line. What is that first command showing me?Code:dpkg --list | awk '\''/linux-image/ {print $2}'\''Leave a comment:

When was the last time you cleared out the package cache? What is the result of:
Also, how many kernel versions do you have? What is the result of:Code:ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives && ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/partial

/ partition filled. What went wrong?
So when I installed my 12.04 LTS, I partitioned my drive with linuxswap (17Gb), /boot (500 Mb), / (28 Gb), and /home (420 Gb). Everything has been working fine up until a few minutes ago. I noticed that my / filesystem was filled with only 3Mb left. How did my / fill up in one week? My first suspicion is that somehow / and /home are not talking correctly. Here are some outputs:
Code:user@user-office-desktop:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 28G 27G 3.3M 100% / udev 3.9G 4.0K 3.9G 1% /dev tmpfs 1.6G 852K 1.6G 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 3.9G 356K 3.9G 1% /run/shm overflow 1.0M 56K 968K 6% /tmp /dev/sdb1 932G 559G 373G 60% /media/Family Media Drive /dev/sda1 461M 69M 369M 16% /boot /dev/sda7 415G 24G 371G 6% /home
andCode:user@user-office-desktop:~$ df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda6 1831424 229660 1601764 13% / udev 1011064 573 1010491 1% /dev tmpfs 1022303 501 1021802 1% /run none 1022303 1 1022302 1% /run/lock none 1022303 9 1022294 1% /run/shm overflow 1022303 30 1022273 1% /tmp /dev/sdb1 390966600 17244 390949356 1% /media/Family Media Drive /dev/sda1 121920 235 121685 1% /boot /dev/sda7 27631616 6492 27625124 1% /home
Now, I know it that my /VirtualBox VMs, /Videos, /Pictures, and /Music are taking up all the room, but those should be in a separate partition, right? When I click on /root then /Home in dolphin, it highlights that I'm currently looking at the /Home partition. So how is that folder taking up my / partition? What's the relationship that I'm missing here?Code:user@user-office-desktop:~$ sudo du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hr [sudo] password for user: 24G . 11G ./VirtualBox VMs 5.7G ./Videos 3.9G ./Music 2.2G ./Pictures 835M ./Downloads 386M ./.cache 225M ./Dropbox 59M ./.kde 50M ./.VirtualBox 48M ./.dropbox-dist 30M ./.config 22M ./.mozilla 15M ./.thumbnails 1.8M ./.dropbox 1.6M ./Documents 1.3M ./.adobe 896K ./.gstreamer-0.10 832K ./.dvdcss 716K ./pysdm-0.4.1 616K ./.macromedia 460K ./.gimp-2.6 268K ./.local 268K ./.gconf 192K ./.pulse 40K ./.fontconfig 36K ./.pki 32K ./.gnupg 28K ./.easytag 28K ./Desktop 24K ./.gtkpod 20K ./.dbus 16K ./.gegl-0.0 12K ./.mission-control 8.0K ./.gnome2 4.0K ./Templates 4.0K ./Public 4.0K ./.gvfs 4.0K ./.gphoto 4.0K ./.gnome2_private
