Good time of the day.
I watch carefully disk space on my root device i try to find the

For example, i have free space only 100 MiB. After 2-3 hours space is
gone. After reboot i see the space again.

I've been searching and reading the mans on apt, apt-get, aptitude,

Is there one? I'm sure there is. I'm just not finding it.
