I'm not linux expert, but I would suspect the first line in the first report is telling the story:

Available   0
Use%        100

Time for a new, bigger, disk, or a major cleanout!

I've had this problem before.

I had to go to /var/log and delete the messages* files.

From the root directory try
du -xd1
to narrow down which directory is taking up all the space.
