JJ, 

   That sure rings a bell. I untarred a file in home0/webadm the
other day, and it filled up all available space, so I had to
delete the whole thing and punt.

   /dev/sd5g             963223  818630   48271    94%    /home0
   /dev/sd0e            1849982       9 1664975     0%    /home8
   /dev/sd0f            1849982       9 1664975     0%    /home9
   /dev/sd1a            1849982       9 1664975     0%    /home10
   /dev/sd1d            1849982       9 1664975     0%    /home11

   How can I or others here help and support you in doing this,
since you made it clear in your note that you weren't able to do
this as a typical routine part of normal everyday maintenance?

   What was the reason for the lack of success when you tried
doing this earlier, before sending the message requesting our
help? 

   Can you move /home0 to one of the larger empty partitions
listed above, without disrupting or rebooting the system? If the
machine needs to be rebooted, when have you scheduled this?

   Thanks for anything that you can do about this, or have
already done.
