Probably your log files have filled the system up.  Check that first. 
If you don't find the space there you can use du to get a breakdown of
which directories have the most space used.

One time I saw a system like this and found that the backup script they
were using had a typo.  They were creating a backup to a file under the
/dev directory instead of sending it to the tape drive.
