I used to be able to have 3 or 4 copies of the tivoapp file on the 100mb-ish partition. Now I barely have room left over after 2.

How can I tell what files are using the most space? I checked the /tmp directory and don't see much in there. Is there an easy way to increase the size of the partition without messing up the rest of them?

Do an ls -l to see how much room each file is taking. Sometimes when you delete old tivoapps, the space doesn't get freed up until you run e2fsck. First type "df" at bash to see how much of your root filesystem is being used. Then try e2fsck -p /dev/hdaX where X is your root partition - either 4 or 7. Before you do this make sure your drive is mounted read-only. Do another df to see how much space you freed up.

Thanks, that did it. Went from 91% capacity to 62%.
atlantis-bash# e2fsck -p /dev/hda7
/dev/hda7 is mounted. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes

/dev/hda7 has reached maximal mount count, check forced.
Deleted inode 22530 has zero dtime.
Set dtime? yes

Deleted inode 22532 has zero dtime.
Set dtime? yes

Fix summary information? yes

/dev/hda7: 2433/32768 files (0.7% non-contiguous), 78491/131072 blocks
atlantis-bash# df
