I usually use something like:

find /path/to/file/system/root -xdev -size +10000 \
	> /path/to/other/filesystem/tmp/bigfiles

The command varies depending on the version of find.  SCO's uses
the -mount option instead of -xdev.  

All the systems I've built since the early days of Xenix have had
'/' and at least one other file system (usually '/home') so if one
fills, there's room on another for files.  Having '/' on its own
file system with all data on another makes it fairly easy to
reinstall the OS in case '/' is trashed.
