hard disk memory usage weirldy high


hello! i am having a problem that i would call a bit "important" with my server.
so, from last 3 weeks the used space of my hard disk (RAID I) started growing up.
i have 2 x 1 tb HDD working on RAID I and i did not install anything those weeks.
the space just started changing from 90 GB till 580 GB. now the situation is stable there but i think it's not normal.
the bandwidth usage is low (like 120 gb in 2 months) and i am running 6 counter strike gameservers, a forum, a very little website and some local stuffs...
a friend of mine told me that my server could have been hacked but i am afraid it did... some useful informations:
when i reboot the server the used space goes down again to ~100 GB and then it starts going up again.

i cant really find where all those files are located:

Quote:
box:/opt/lampp# du /* -hs | grep [0-9]G | sort -rn | head -10
du: cannot access `/proc/21190/task/21190/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `/proc/21190/task/21190/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `/proc/21190/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `/proc/21190/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
8.8G /home
2.8G /var
i checked all directories with du -h and the biggest are those...
i really have no idea what to do :/
ill post also the list of the processes running on my system incase anyone would need them.

thank you in advice

Run rkhunter and chkrootkit, doesn't catch it all but should give you an idea. What do you get with a 'df -k' and 'du -sk /* | sort -n'? Is all your software upto date including the web apps? Have you been updating the system via the package manager?
