It's not the root partition per see, it's the /tmp directory/partition
that fills up:
rmgztk:~# ll /tmp/kprp.*
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 28 08:30 /tmp/kprp.RKcFeZ
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 28 09:00 /tmp/kprp.jDHeVw
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 28 08:00 /tmp/kprp.unf9Ql
I deleted a couple of hundred files just resently...
Put a cron job to delete all kprop.* files periodically (once a week ?).
