 |

I have a 14GB / partition, portage tree is located under a separate partition, still on my laptop when I was using it as compiling machine I've never filled it.
how can I findout what's taking so much space?

from / you can do
to see which directories are the biggest then move into that directory and do the same until you track down which directory.
How is your partitioning set up? Do you have /var on a separate partition? I've had that get pretty huge before. |

Just to make sure you're looking at hidden directories as well:
| Code: |
du -sx * .[^.]* | sort -n

| If it's not because of inodes (df -h saying you have space free but df -i saying you ran out of inodes) you can also use xdiskusage if you prefer a graphical representation |

I find the output of the nodes rather strange...

That du output doesn't really say anything because you let it traverse to other mount points
make a clean mount of your root partition first
| Code: |
mkdir /mnt/clean
mount /dev/rootdevice /mnt/clean
|
(yes you can mount device several times in several locations 
then cd /mnt/clean/ and run du there
the nodes are strange yes but not every filesystem works internally with the inode model (that's an ext2/3 thing), so they may not have a inode limit and thus they can not tell how many % of inodes are in use |
