Yes, it's definitely /var/log.
Try going deeper, that would help sort this out:

There was a 1.5G file /var/log/squeezeboxserver, so I just removed that.
I haven't had squeezeboxserver on there for probably five years, maybe 10, so I have no idea what that was doing there. I hope it doesn't reappear. I guess it actually didn't have anything to do with my reinstalling iDrive -- thought the timing is strange. I guess I will put that back on there and see if I can get it working again. In any event, thanks so much for your help. My /var/log is down to 85M now, so I should be all set unless there is something else you think I should do. I had changed my e-mail password so I wasn't even getting alerts about this -- I am so glad I happened to look at the logs. That isn't something I ever do, so I am lucky I caught it before it was too late. Thanks again.
