I could see that your / partition is 100% so the solution I could think is
do a house keeping look for a file that is eating up the filesystem or make
a LVM (Logical Volume Management). Below is a script that you could use to
find the file that is utilizing your /

#find / -xdev -size +30000 -exec ls -l {} \;
