Constipated Ibex

Hi, all --

My server using Intrepid appears to have a constipated  root directory.  
Here is the output from the df -h.  As you can see, the / drive is 100% 
used.  I was able to get some stuff out of my home directory, but the 
problem appears to be elsewhere.  Surely 129 Gb should be enough for an 
sda disk when /all/ of the relevant collections are stored on sdb, sdc, 
sdd, and sde. 

Does anybody know a way to search through the root directory (and its 
subalterns) to find out what's clogging the drive -- and then to 
determine what can be deleted?

Thanks for your help.
