sanmaris,

/dev is a system virtual partition that belongs to devfs (DEVice File System). It's usually quite small (example: 1KB) and 100% filled so what you're getting on your cPanel is absolutely normal.

DescriptionDevfs is an alternative to "real" character and block special devices on your root filesystem. Kernel device drivers can register devices by name rather than major and minor numbers. These devices will appear in devfs automatically, with whatever default ownership and protection the driver specified. A daemon (devfsd) can be used to override these defaults. Devfs has been in the kernel since 2.3.46.
This is from a new client's server I just configured:[root@foo:~] df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 71G 1.6G 64G 2% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/named/dev
In short, you may safely forget about its existance and that it's 100% full :)
