So I am getting a high usage on / Do you think 25GB is enough for / directory? Is something causing the high usage? Do MySQL databases sit in / directory? Is there a way where that could be moved to another physical hard drive?

  Yes the way you have things set up everything except home is in /. That's your databases, cpanel code files all os files etc. How big that should be is highly variable at this point but I'd say youd at least want 10% of your space there so in the 80 GB range.

  I Agree in this instance with @GOT with your filesystem configuration you need much more space in / - you might even consider more than 80GB depending on whether or not you plan on storing backups on /, how often you want to rotate logs, are you planning on keeping MySQL on that partition etc.

  Do MySQL databases sit in / directory?

  
  MySQL databases typically reside in /var/lib/mysql which is in the directory structure under / so the answer in your case is yes.

  Is there a way where that could be moved to another physical hard drive?

  
  It is possible to move the MySQL datadir we have a few tutorials on that in the forums such as
