Agreed! Almost certainly just a deleted file that was still open: loads of
log files in /var. It might be worth checking skulker, (or any local
equivalent) to make sure you're not deleting any log files without stopping
the processes writing to them. e.g. /var/adm/syslog.log.
Whilst the system is clean, it might be a good idea to check for large
and/or growing log files and make sure you're not collecting more
information than you want. (I've seen syslog fill up with irrelevant error
messages for things like non-existent ATM networks in the past.)
