[Sheflug] Space problems on a machine



On a server that I use for storing backups we are starting to notice strange behavior.
 
as root running mail gave a /tmp full error!
 
So, I deleted a few game rpms etc and things are now ok (at least mail works).
 
However
 
suse-backup:/tmp # df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3              1909088   1895072     14016 100% /
/dev/hda1                19487      4668     13813  26% /boot
/dev/backup/backup   160742608 148085508  12657100  93% /backup
shmfs                    63304         0     63304   0% /dev/shm
does not look good. how do I free up space on /?
 
can I just delete everything in /tmp?
 
The data stored on the machine is in /backup which is on a LVM drive array of two 80Gb drives. the boot drive
is a 2Gb drive. The boot drive seems to have filled up, but I don`t  know what with!
 
I am using samba and scp to move the files on and off the machine.
 
Any suggestions?
 
(The box is running a stock install of Suse 8.1)
