An occasional
command will tell you the overall disk use in %age terms of all mounted partitions and if any are showing higher than expected figures you can check things in more detail.
This is what I am seeing. But remember I just rebooted a short time ago.
Code:
irv@irv-Inspiron-1521:~$ df -hT
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7 ext4 211G 63G 138G 32% /
udev devtmpfs 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 766M 888K 765M 1% /run
none tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none tmpfs 1.9G 2.0M 1.9G 1% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 vfat 30G 7.4G 23G 25% /media/3166-3166

irv@irv-Inspiron-1521:~$
And this is my tmp properties
