And even more obviously, the mail and news spools, if you have them. There is a machine at work that I use for Linux development which is also in use as the local nntp server. Unfortunately, the original admin set up the news spool on the same filesystem as /home (grrr, argh). On a number of occasions, I have arrived at work to find that said filesystem was full, when it had had a few hundred megs free the previous day; this has invariably been caused by the presence of monstrous binaries in the news spool. Very annoying. It's a Red Hat box, so even without the news spool problem, rebuilding it would already be on my to-do list, once some other essential services get moved off it.
