Thanks for your reply.

I can't check the logfiles, I can't look at anything that's on the
filesystem  :-/
I did an xfs_info on /home and i got the following:
"xfs_info: /home is not a mounted XFS filesystem"

I am running suse 10.0 RC1 and it gave me a "disk is full" popup thing
for the full partition.  I have no idea what to do.

Any help would be appreciated, this is a very serious issue.
