Filesystem full in Ubuntu

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 130G 130G 0 100% /
none 7.9G 232K 7.9G 1% /dev
none 7.9G 24K 7.9G 1% /dev/shm
none 7.9G 112K 7.9G 1% /var/run

/dev/sdb1 250G 176G 75G 71% /srv

Hi I don't know where to look for the file or dir which is causing the local filesystem to be at 100%

I've checked using df -hs of each dir under root but nothing comes up

Is there a way to check and list files over a certain size ?

Help !!!

Thanks

As root do
du -xsk /* | sort -n
to check which directory using the most disk space, say /var for example, then
du -xsk /var/* | sort -n

Usually, some log files under /var/log and /tmp.

As root
find / -type f -size 1G
Will report whatever file size bigger than 1GB

Woo, should be
find / -type f -size +1G
or
find / -type f -size +100M # whatever bigger than 100MB

find / -type f -size +100M -exec du -sh {} \;

It will list the file list which over 100MB and the file size.
For example
105M /var/log/messages
1.2G /var/log/btmp
