I've been using Lubuntu Netbook for quite a few days (on Asus EeePC 1015PX), but recently I encountered a problem. I could not copy files to my root partition. I looked for the files that were eating up space, found some log files of huge size and deleted them.
It worked fine for few days, but now it again shows the root partition full.
Output of df -h:

It resolved after I restarted my computer.
