[K12OSN] No one can log in! Advice please.

Each separate mount point will show up separately in mount and in df.
The NFS mount does not show in either output below.

If the 80GB drive has space, move the home directories over to it and
NFS mount them back to the main server (after verifying the move and
deleting the contents of /home).

If there are a tremendous number of tiny files (<4k) you may be out of
inodes and thus can't write to the drive for that reason. Each file
takes at least one inode. Loads of little 1, 2 and 3k files will consume
4k inodes with wasted space. Welcome to the world of low-level,
hard-core sysadmin stuff :)

try this:
find / -type f -size +20000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": "
$5 }'

This find command will find all files larger than 20M and print the full
path and their size. It will truncate filenames with spaces in them but
will get you a starting point.
