[mythtv-users] Disk space problem

[Jim Morton]

I hope this is not off topic here but I need advice/opinions of 
experienced Myth users. I built a Mythbuntu FE/BE unit several months 
ago and it has been working quite well until now. I find that the / file 
system is full. In (unsuccessfully) looking for large files to delete I 
have come to the conclusion that I might have made some bad decisions in 
setting up the partitions.

I originally bought 2 1TB SATA drives and on installation saw where it 
was recommended to use a separate hdd for the os. I happened to have a 
250GB ATA drive not being used so I set that up as the boot/os drive. 
Then on a whim I threw in another 100GB ATA drive for live-tv figuring 
it would take the most abuse. (Turns out we don't watch live tv hardly 
ever anymore.)

This system is primarily a Myth system but is used for a few other 
things too. We've installed some card cames that my wife & kids like to 
play and Virtualbox to run XP in so we can view internet broadcasts that 
use DRM.

I have almost no experience here and was hoping someone could review the 
below info and tell me if (a) I have plenty of space allocated and just 
need to locate what is using up all the space in / or (b) I need to give 
more space to /. If (b) then can I do that with fdisk or parted or 
something else? sdc6 seems to have plenty to spare.

These are the disks -
dev/sda   1TB SATA
dev/sdb   1TB SATA
dev/sdc   250GB ATA
dev/sdd   100GB ATA

This is the current usage
$ df -v

This is how parted shows the sdc drive
$ sudo parted /dev/sdc
GNU Parted 1.8.8
Using /dev/sdc

and just in case this is /etc/fstab

All suggestions are appreciated...
