Hi

Thanks everyone for your replies. Here's the relevant output. Is there
some tests I can run to see what is going on?

 df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3     3.0G  1.9G  967M  67% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1     147M   15M  125M  11% /boot
/dev/cciss/c0d0p7      59G   53G  3.3G  95% /opt
none                 1007M     0 1007M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2     3.0G  2.5G  358M  88% /var

 du -hs /opt/
27G     /opt

Hope this helps
Dan
