I would guess that some logging has gone berserk and filled up /var.
Anyway, try running "du -ks *" in the root directory and you'll get back
the usage (in kilobytes) of each of the top level files/directories.
Choose the one that's the problem and do "du -ks" in that directory etc.
until you find the problem.
