Hi,

> Please suggest whats eating up 43.1 GB disk space

do you have any directories starting with a dot?

What result do you get?
du -hs /* /.[^.]*

Which filesystem are you running? Maybe you have an unbelievable count  
of small files which are smaller than the cluster size of your disk.

Cheers

Dirk
