WDC mybook and /etc/passwd

[Noah]

Hi,

ah okay I see what is going on here.
my rootfs is full.

Anybody have some recommendations on what to remove?

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs                2.8G  2.8G     0 100% /
/dev/root             2.8G  2.8G     0 100% /

cheers,

Noah
