VPS server showing wrong disk space usage

[mrpanda]

Hi there.

Recently a client gave me a problem, that I myself cannot seem to solve. He apparently did a back up of his site, restored the backup and the .tar.gz disappeared. He then deleted the account, however the disk space still reflects the usage. He logged into cpanel and looked at the account and it clearly says 80mb of usage. But on his WHM (he has a VPS) it still says 3.3gb of usage.

What is going on here.

Please help.

thank you.

This seems like a quota issue which is pretty common with cPanel. Have you tried to run /scripts/fixquota from ssh and this should sort the issue. If not post up your results and ill be glad to help out..

I think that you'd better need to call their support team to ask about that. If you are on paid web hosting why don't use web hosting compny's support?

Couldn't be that the individual account is 80M and the total space used on the VPS including the OS is 3.3G could it :wink2:

Run the following via SSH as root:


/scripts/fixeverything

Then restart Apache.

See how that goes.

Agreed.

:eek3: actually best if you don't!

There's only about half a dozen need run, mainly to do with named/bind/rndc
