Yes, I would start to be concerned that your / filesystem is > 90%.  
Especially since you don't have a separate /var filesystem.  One thing 
that may help if you have keepcache=1 in your /etc/yum.conf is a 'yum 
clean packages'.  If you keep up with your yum updates and the keepcache 
is enabled you may have a lot of packages in /var/cache/yum that you 
don't need.  Otherwise you may need to start doing some 'du -sh /var/*' 
pick a large directory and repeat.
