I just found out that in WHM, it shows my /usr is currently flashing yellow at 81%. It seems that there is one file quota.user is about 1mb in size and that is the biggest file in that 3gb partition.

I did a /scripts/fixquotas but the quota file did not get reduced in size.

Is there anything I can do to stop the flashing ?

Thanks.

Thanks. The '/usr' partition would also include the logs located in '/usr/local/apache/domlogs', this would probably be quite large depending on how many users you have. Clearing out the access logs for each site would be the best way to reduce the 81% in that partition.

after you clear out /usr/local/apache/domlogs make sure you restart apache - or whm won't reflect the changes.

Thanks. In my WHM, I found that I did not do a 'Delete each domains access log after stats run'. I just checked that and rerun the logs. I would supposed it will bring that number now.

Well, I have 5 working sites on the machine with 7 parked domains. I don't believe that is excessive. One of the site is active doing about 500 visitors a day and it has been running for under a month.

I guess I should have the logs removed so as to maintain sufficient space on the server.

Thanks again.

Believe me it's not the logs the main problem. I got an increase from 76% to 83% by just updating CPanel. The apache logs were just an extra 2% increase. We just need bigger partitions. Or the guys from Cpanel should cleanup a bit the things, give us an easy way to remove software not needed and then not add any other external stuff. Of course this is my opinion by personal experience.

Okay, removing the Domlogs did not help as it was still up at 81% and after I removed the error_log, it is down to 78% . Now it is green.

There was nothing wrong in the error logs just because I had some link redirected in cpanel and thus reported as 404 and then redirected.

go into cd /usr/local/apache

then type in " du -sh *" no quotes of course

it wil show you the size and whats taking up the most space .

Strange. Earlier it shown 81% then i did the delete and it went down to 78% and now I just checked, it is down to 66% :) Cool, if this keeps up, I will definitely not run into any problems.
