Partition used 100%

Hey guys,

My partition /dev/hda3 981M 646M 286M 70% / was at 100%. After contacting my host (managed) they moved my backups to another partition freeing up 30%.

I think I now know what I have done wrong!

While trying to secure my tmp directory following this tutorial http://www.eth0.us/?q=tmp I created a partition shm

(I know I should have known what I was doing before entering the commands. I know where my error was now!)

Here is my file system

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 981M 646M 286M 70% /
/dev/hda1 99M 28M 67M 30% /boot
/dev/hda8 89G 894M 83G 2% /home
none 501M 0 501M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda7 494M 8.1M 461M 2% /tmp
/dev/hda6 9.7G 2.4G 6.8G 26% /usr
/dev/hda5 9.7G 610M 8.6G 7% /var


Now I think the shm partition has taken up what was left of hda3. Do you agree?

If this assumption is correct, how do I undo what I have done (if that is even possible Partition used 100% )


Thanks
