Disk space reported incorrectly after deleting GIGS of files
Hi,
Hopefully it's ok to post this here.
I run a small, private imagehost on a dedicated server that has a single 500 gig drive.
Just the other day, i got an email stating that was dispatched from my Directadmin panel saying that disk space is low with 95% of the drive full.
I went into the admin panel of the imagehosting software and deleted perhaps 20 gigs of images.
After running many commands at the command line:
df -h and du -sh *, my dirve is still showing 95% full.
Code:Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 448G 400G 25G 95% / /dev/sda1 99M 22M 72M 24% /boot tmpfs 1009M 0 1009M 0% /dev/shm
Code:636K admin 4.0K ftp 371G image96 25G madman71 550M marko 115M tmp
I have rebooted the server, and that didnt fix it. And i can not think of any files/service that may be running that would prevent it from dispalying the proper disk space.
any suggestions?
Im running Centos with Directadmin only. No other admin panels. Im very, very limited with my Nix commands. Plz be gentleLast edited by russ71; 05-04-2011 at 12:56 PM.

The real question is, did the "Admin Panel" of your image hosting software actually delete anything? You should check your error logs and see if the script had trouble removing files.

You're deleting it via the Admin Panel. Did you try checking the file name which you deleted within the folder? I bet the file is still there and that nothing got deleted. Like Nich says, scripts may give errors sometimes.

Ok, some good news!
After deleting a few more test files , I went to a gallery where they were posted, and sure enough, the script did not remove them. The images are still there.
According to the script writer, i have to set up a cronjob to get it to work.
I found this post: https://yabsoft.com/forum/aih-troubl...=pruning+files
thanks for your help guys.
