The mysql database isn't in /var/www... that whole folder is 2.2MB.
Oh... found it! There was a 6.4GB tar archive in /var/mysql folder.
It was part of my backup from a couple months ago when I was trying to recover my local WordPress blog.
The system doesn't register the additional space right away, though, huh?

In the future, if you want to see what branches of your filesystem are taking up the most space, Ubuntu includes an application called Baobab for this task. I think they call it Disk Usage Analyzer.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem. I'm running natty amd64 and this is the first time the root partition has (almost) filled up. I've had several Ubuntu systems running for the last two years and this is a first time occurrence.
output of df -h :
Code:root@*******:/# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 4.6G 4.4G 43M 100% / none 1.7G 724K 1.7G 1% /dev none 1.7G 124K 1.7G 1% /dev/shm none 1.7G 436K 1.7G 1% /var/run none 1.7G 4.0K 1.7G 1% /var/lock /dev/sdb1 299G 155G 144G 52% /media/sdb1 /dev/sda7 3.7G 72M 3.5G 3% /tmp /dev/sda1 184M 68M 107M 39% /boot /dev/sda8 3.7G 565M 3.0G 16% /var /dev/sda9 898G 255G 598G 30% /home
For standard desktops I do not recommend separate system partitions so you can share any free space. Otherwise you have to plan system size for every partition.
I normally suggest 10 to 20GB for / with everything included, but I have a somewhat larger drive and use 25GB for all my / that I have.

Did you follow the suggestions in this thread to see what eats the space?
If you reboot regularly, the below will not apply. Else it might
df reports different from du. If you delete a file that is in use by a program, df will not see that while du will. df will only see it once you close the program that has the file in use. You can check for this type of files with the lsof command.
Code:fortyfourgalena@desktop-01:~/Desktop$ lsof |grep deleted nautilus 2170 fortyfourgalena 21r REG 8,9 64296 3558940 /home/fortyfourgalena/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home (deleted) nautilus 2170 fortyfourgalena 22w REG 8,9 32768 3558941 /home/fortyfourgalena/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home-bf7d2b87.log (deleted) indicator 2225 fortyfourgalena 20w REG 8,9 64296 3559232 /home/fortyfourgalena/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home (deleted) indicator 2225 fortyfourgalena 21r REG 8,9 32768 3559244 /home/fortyfourgalena/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home-d056db1e.log (deleted) gnome-ter 2615 fortyfourgalena 22u REG 8,7 2446 1232223 /tmp/vteG56S0V (deleted) gnome-ter 2615 fortyfourgalena 23u REG 8,7 304 1232228 /tmp/vteV86S0V (deleted) gnome-ter 2615 fortyfourgalena 24u REG 8,7 1952 1232229 /tmp/vte1Z720V (deleted) fortyfourgalena@desktop-01:~/Desktop$
If you don't make backups of your important data, your data is obviously not important to you.
I ran into the problem again just recently-- I had a misconfigured plugin in a local WordPress install that generated 11GB of error logs in Apache2 in the space of a couple minutes.
I saw what was happening and was able to reboot the machine in safe mode and was able to delete the logs so I could start Ubuntu again correctly.

Time to consider to move /var to a dedicated partition
And to move your database out of /var if applicable and you have not done so yet.
If you don't make backups of your important data, your data is obviously not important to you.
Time for me to get a larger hard drive...
