Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Quota Problem on VPS 3GB in WHM but double in SSH

[reamark]

hi all,
i have a Cpanel VPS with 10gb of disc space available. I have some account hosted on it that use 3GB of webspace (shown in WHM) However in "current Disk Usage (in WHM it shows up i use about 7GB! I cannot find any way to see where is this usage coming from. I know i have to calculate about 2GB for system ...
So 10GB-2GB-3GB= 5GB available...
Is there something wrong? Is there anything i miss?

thanks for help

When CPanel is setup in the first place with all the system files, it uses a couple of gigs (around 2 - 4?) already.

Hence if you rent a VPS with 10GB advertised, the actual space you are likely to have for your accounts is 5GB max.

arn't there files that can be deleted? using only 3GB of a 10GB is just a bit frustrating...

Check the size of your log files (apache error logs, domlogs, exim etc) and you can crop them to free up some disk space.

du -h --max-depth=1 /

That will show where all the space is going in a given directory. Do that in / and then start to look in the other directories to see where the space is going.

/var/log
/usr/local/apache/domlogs

are two good places to check
