Ok I have a question regarding the root partition corrupting under  
openSUSE 11.1 on three different machines.  Over night these machines  
would go from their root partition being less than 50% full to being  
completely full, but nothing was installed, nothing was changed, and  
I know the tmp directories are not filling it up because I have cron  
set up to clear /tmp once a day and /var/tmp every three days at  
midnight.  To be sure I checked to see if cron was still running and  
didn't have an error, that was fine, so I went in and cleared the tmp  
directories by hand and did df -h to see if that made a difference  
and it was still saying 100% full.  The first two times this happened  
I did a clean install after fsk could change anything.  Now that this  
has happened a third time it is looking less like a coincidence  and  
more like a serious problem.  Right now it is looking like I may just  
do a clean install on the third computer because right now it is  
completely unusable and if I logged out of the active session which  
can't do anything but sit there then I will be limited to terminal only.
