    Wrong disk usage in WHM

    Hey guys,
    I'm having a problem with my /usr. When I check it through WHM it's 100% full. But when I check it through SSH ( du -sh /usr ). it's almost 50% full

    is there a way to let WHM recalculates the disk usage for /usr.

    note: i already tried to empty it. but the 100% in WHM never changed. I deleted about 3GB of files. but in WHM, still saying 9.4GB used from 9.9GB

    Thanks alot

    Hi

    Try to run these scripts to fix the quota issue
    /scripts/fixquotas
    /scripts/resetquotas

    If that doesn't fix the issue try to run a quotacheck using the command
    #quotacheck -avugfm

    That should fix your issue. If you have a few hundred GB's of data on the servers, expect it to take upwards to 30+ minutes and plan for high loads during that time.

    thanks Rekhatitus,
    it looks like this is what I need.

    I run "/scripts/fixquotas" but it asked me to wait for 30 minutes. so I will wait until then and let you know if it get fixed.

    thanks again for the help

    thanks guys for the help.

    Here is what I did:

    - I ran "/scripts/fixquotas" and I waited for it to finish completely.
    - I checked the /usr space usage through WHM.
    Code:
    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             9.9G  9.3G   55M 100% /usr
    - I checked it again through SSH. gives me 4.2GB!!
    Code:
    du -sh /usr
    - I ran the other two commands ( checking space usage after each one of them )
    Code:
    /scripts/resetquotas
quotacheck -avugfm
    - now I am writing this reply. and the problem didn't get fixed yet.

    Run these commands

    quotacheck -acfmv
    /scripts/resetquotas
    mount -o remount,rw,usrquota /

    If that didn't fix the issue, contact your webhost and tell them to recalculate the quota of your server.

    thanks Rekhatitus. It seems like this is the only thing I could do.

    If this is a managed hosting provider, I'd recommend contacting them for further assistance. Everything suggested should have fixed any "normal" problems.

    It shows
    Code:
    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             9.9G  9.3G   52M 100% /usr

    Then your /usr partition is really full, and it's not a false report. You will need to clear it up.

    It's a cPanel system, so most likely you have some large log files in /usr/local/apache/logs

    I already cleared the logs. I deleted about 3GB manually. but the used space is still the same.

    You may need to restart the services for updating the partition table..like apache and mysql restart.. It will re write the process space and you can view the correct value in

    df -h
