du -sk|sort -n will report least used to most used. Ignore filesystems on other partitions and you are on your way to solving the problem. When you find which directory is the culprit cd to it and run the command again and again cd to the most used directory again until you find the problem.
Considering that one of the partitions has 250 GB, that will take a long time. Better use a command that will not consider any other partition.
Like du -x, perhaps.
I wonder why anybody would bother with "du" on the command line these days for this kind of task. There are a number of GUI applications to do just that. http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/ or Baobab for GNOME or FileLight. ANY of those is way superior to repeatedly typing "du" and trying to figure out manually what's going on. CU -- Stefan Hundhammer <sh@suse.de> Penguin by conviction.
