Originally you said you were updating the OS, in your last post you said you were trying to load a backup exec agent.

You have tried the any things that Blue has suggested?
You may not be keen to do the fresh install but what about stopping the services before you attempt the install?

Are you using any network monitoring tools or other packages that could be saving files to the root directory?

If you get SSH access you should be able to see what is clogging things?

One item in your initial post was that you said the root directory is just over 528MB, I have been told that the GOS partition, once on the disk takes up to 10GB and I need to take off or account for 10GB per drive when I quote Snap servers need to work out usable disk space sizes and considering swap space requirements etc I may be totally wrong but I would guess that there are more partitions to be looking at apart from the / partition only
