Definitely not.
I would guess that something wrote a whole bunch of tiny (0 byte?) files
to /... using up all your inodes. I would start looking in /tmp and /var.
You could run a command like the following from each directory and it
should give you a count of all the files smaller than 1 byte by
subdirectory... just iterate through the directories with the largest
numbers until you find all the files:
sudo find -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read -r dir; do printf "%s:\t"
"$dir"; sudo find "$dir" -type f -size -1c| wc -l; done
