Try the following commands:
# cd /usr
# du -sk *
This should show you the total size of every /usr subdirectory.
Look deeper in /usr subdirectories, and try to find out which parts of /usr
occupy most of the space you gave to it.
BTW, 1.4 GB is a *lot* of space. I have the sources under /usr/src and a
buildworld that fills my /usr/obj right now, several ports installed in
/usr/local (including XFree86 version 4), and I haven't cleaned my
/usr/ports/distfiles in a while. Yet I haven't reached 1.4 GB in /usr:
hades:~$ df /usr
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s3f 4065262 1146320 2593722 31% /usr
