This little gem might help you diagnose your space issues from the command
line, as it's saved me many times:
# du -m -x --max-depth=1 / | sort -n
You'll get a listing of top level directories disk usage (in MB) for the /
filesystem only, sorted by size in ascending order. You can then drill
down into other directories to see what's hogging your disk space.
You're better off IMHO being efficient with your / filesystem rather than
trying to symlink a directories this way and that. You should be able to
get your / filesystem to under 200MB unless you're storing something in
there on purpose, or at least move the offending files somewhere else.
