[mythtv-users] Disk space problem

I hope this is not off topic here but I need advice/opinions of
experienced Myth users. I built a Mythbuntu FE/BE unit several months
ago and it has been working quite well until now. I find that the / file
system is full. In (unsuccessfully) looking for large files to delete I
have come to the conclusion that I might have made some bad decisions in
setting up the partitions.
I originally bought 2 1TB SATA drives and on installation saw where it
was recommended to use a separate hdd for the os. I happened to have a
250GB ATA drive not being used so I set that up as the boot/os drive.
Then on a whim I threw in another 100GB ATA drive for live-tv figuring
it would take the most abuse. (Turns out we don't watch live tv hardly
ever anymore.)
This system is primarily a Myth system but is used for a few other
things too. We've installed some card cames that my wife & kids like to
play and Virtualbox to run XP in so we can view internet broadcasts that
use DRM.
I have almost no experience here and was hoping someone could review the
below info and tell me if (a) I have plenty of space allocated and just
need to locate what is using up all the space in / or (b) I need to give
more space to /. If (b) then can I do that with fdisk or parted or
something else? sdc6 seems to have plenty to spare.
These are the disks -
dev/sda 1TB SATA
dev/sdb 1TB SATA
dev/sdc 250GB ATA
dev/sdd 100GB ATA
This is the current usage
$ df -v

This is how parted shows the sdc drive
$ sudo parted /dev/sdc
GNU Parted 1.8.8
Using /dev/sdc
