Hello,

Something very strange is happening in my raq3.

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 743466 709253 34213 95% /
/dev/hda3 198601 34367 164234 17% /var
/dev/hda4 8355781 1123992 7231789 13% /home

My system disk has only 34 mb's free. and decreasing daily.

I have only installed the security patches, webalizer1.3 pkg and openssh 2.9 pkg. No extra software. PHP and mysql was installed by 4webspace.

I've contacted support and they told me that had deleted about 20 megs of files, but that they need a Senior Technician to determine the problem and that they are very busy.

**It seems that the numbers of users and domains do not match (don't know what is the reason), to many users.**

I have 11 domains and each one of them have just one unique user except one or two domains that have 2 or 3.

Hope that I can solve this in one or two days. If not ... in 48 hours my raq3 can crash.

Anyone has had a similar problem??

I've found in the forums that I could move dirs to /home volume but tera-byte support told me that this is not a solution, and that if I do that I will break all the Admin Interface.

Totally Lost.
I don't see the light.

Any idea?

Maybe your log files or something...

I do remember I moved something of mine to /home once but couldn't remember if it was logs or what however it was from recommendations from tera-byte to perform the task. Let me trace my steps and I might find the email from them.

Hmm...
How do you check your systemdisk on a RaQ3?

I use phpSysInfo 1.7 for a quick look at the server stats.

Example:

Link to free program on that page...

To see the volume status, log through telnet or ssh and type: df and also try df -h. also type "mount" to see how they are mounted.

Well , my problem seems to be controlled now. A Senior tech from tera-byte digged into it and saw that who installed PHP did it on my /root . He has moved it to home with some more stuff like docs, etc... and now i have this partition at 84% full. Enough to go on.

I've asked him if I could know wich files are increasing in that volume to keep them controlled... I'm waiting for a response.

I'm not so bothered now :o

The MySQL database may be installed in / instead of /home. As these are dynamic, they can change in size and take up space even if you do not install additional software.

What do you mean with that?

I had MYSQL databases in /var/lib/mysql . I moved them from this location to /home/mysqldb and created symbolic links to them in /var/lib/mysql .

Is that right?

Now when the databases increase they grow in /home volume.

Iwant to guess wich files are growing in /root because what the technik has moved are all static files.
