It is impossible for us to know how you've configured your system, but
the short answer is that there are no hidden files, no.

If the "a" partition is your root partition and you have /var in the
root partition then that is where I'd start looking.

Try 'du -s /var' to see how large /var is. Then try 'du /var' to see the
size of each subdirectory. If you've had a crash recently, the
/var/crash directory can get quite large (provided you have the default
savecore action in /etc/rc.conf). You could also have large logfiles in
/var/log if they're not handled by newsyslog (see /etc/newsyslog.conf
and compare it to the actual logfiles in /var/log).
