Hi Shawn.

OK I had this exact same problem on my raq4.  What was happening was a log was growing to epic proportions.  A fellow named Charlie here on the board gave me the fix and it worked.  I don't know if it will work on your machine, but it worked on mine.

mkdir /home/webdata
cd /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/report/
mv * /home/webdata/
cd ..
rm -r ./report
ln -s /home/webdata/ ./report

This removes the logs from the usr directory (which consumes the / partiton) and moves it to the /home partition and provides it a symbolic link.

find out if it worked by typing the df command
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1               743466    472449    271017  64% /
/dev/hda3               198601     56688    141913  29% /var
/dev/hda4             17671528   1584052  16087476   9% /home

This reduced mine from 95%
