ext3 journaling taking up HDD Space ?

EXT3 journals are of fixed size; that ain't the problem.

Check _all_ the places where log files are kept, not just
"/var/log/messages".  For example, apache keeps logs in another
place.

Just for fun, do a:

	# ls -l /var/spool/mail

to see if an account is receiving mail but not checking it.

Cheers!
