I am not sure how to make the device bigger but you can list the files in the directory by using the ls command

[vpsfusion]

oops. you can use the ls command and if you use ls --full-time it shows you the time plus the filesize. so you can delete the files you don't need.

You buy another hard drive.

i have a 2*160 gb hard drive and i didn't use more than 50 gb

but the drive is divided to partitions and this partition is 100% full

[ub3r]

are you serious?

Seems like a quota issue or even could be a boot configuration error

i would contact your datacentre to check this out,

If you have a directory that is growing (such as a logs directory or a backup directory) you may be able to simply move that directory to one of your other partitions and then symlink it in on the original partition.

damn you have written so small. i can't read what you're saying.

There's no need to expand the root (/) partition. Figure out what's using up all the space on the / partition, and just move it onto another partition that has space available. This is probably where these files belong anyway as there really shouldn't be that much on the / partition.

You should've posted at least some output of df -h..
Usually it's logs causing disk space problems, but getting 100 GB of logs..takes some time.
