Usually, you put your user's directories there. Where are your users?
/usr/users? I'm an admin for our local group of about six suns, and we
have about 4 or 5 1.3G disks that are all packed full of stuff (most are
over 90% full.) Either you don't have any users on your system, or it
hasn't been running long enough to get any real user activity.
