After update, / is full

I really cannot understand why / is full. I have ran du -s -h /*, it doesnt come up with anything.

i cannot create new accounts, or anything, which isnt good

Impossible to say. You're going to have to find what is taking up the space on your root partition (/) and remove/move it where possible. If you don't know how to do that you should hire a server admin to help you.

thanks,

i have an admin... but no sign of him lol (holiday)

i know the commands to run... but they dont seem to work.. the du -s -h /* just seems to freeze after a few files, and i really need this command to work

what other command or process could i use to determine the disk usuage?

You can use

Code:

cd /directory 
du -sh

or

Code:

df -h
