Hi
I want to find out the reason that why root partition is 82% full?
when i did fu -k / then most of files were created on /var .
can you please help me to find out what I need to do in order to find the reason.

/var is used to store system logs and other files like that which can grow. You will want to check out the sizes of files in /var and see which are increasing. You definately don't want to just delete logfiles without knowing exactly what you are doing, but you could set up some log rotation or delete older ones no longer being written to or stuff like that.
To find out the sizes of specific stuff go into /var and do
du -sk *
Then if necessary go into the big subdirectories and do that again to track it down to whatever level of detail you want.
Maybe do that a couple days in a row and save the results, that way by comparing you can tell what is growing.
normaly the admins forget to delete/move coredumps and messagesfiles. have a look into you /var/adm. coredump could be very very big (/var/crash).
