Alan,

With the root filesystem already 97% full, I'd be worried too!
Now's a good time to deal with the problem through, since /space
is empty -- it'll be much more difficult later.  From /, issue
the following command "du -sk *" and look at the list of what
trees are using the most disk space.  Trees like /opt are
usually prime candidates to split out of / and will be pretty
painless at this point because the transfers are disk-to-disk.
Let me know the results!
