Hi BarryG,
looking at the Name of the biggest File in /tmp/ i am assuming, that something had gone wrong with the Network Accounting. Maybe it was not able to dump the detail Data in to the SQL Database so the temporary File never shrunk.

And on my 80GB Disk the /tmp/ is still only 1.8GB big, so a bigger Disk might have bought you only a few days (depending on when the Problem startet of course...). The /var/log/ is 36GB big, so it should be able to hold some Water. 1 Month of Logfiles consumes 1% here. But being a Home User with v7, i have no Idea how that scales...
With the v6 at Work i had to dial down the Log Archive to 90 Days, because 1 Year would not fit on the 32GB Log Partition (on a 73GB Disk).The 90 Days consume 25% of /var/log/. On a realy busy Day i get up to 1GB in Logs witch results in a 65MB tgz compressed File in the remote Log Archive.
