Thread: HDD / issue

Hi! Tried your command but it gives disk size for all i.e /home .usr etc.. Also how to see which folder is un mounted ? root@srv [~]# du -csh * 8.0K anaconda-ks.cfg 12K cpanel3-skel 2.3M csf 12K install.log.syslog 4.0K public_ftp 8.0K public_html 4.0K tmp 2.4M total However df -m says this:- root@srv [~]# df -m Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 1984 1846 36 99% / Any idea? Thanks

The result of that command will show you which file/directory is taking maximum disk space. Its sorted in ascending order, so the required directories will be at the end of the list.

I would suggest using lsof and look for files marked as (deleted) . It is possible that a process still has a file open that has been deleted from the filesystem. In this case, the space will not be reclaimed until the process closes the file. You can force this to happen by killing the process, but this should be a last resort option.

For a start, get into the 'unmounted' directories under / and check their sizes using du -sh Unmounted directories are directories OTHER THAN your already mounted directories like /usr,/home,/var etc.

First - reboot the server Then go under each directory under /, like /var is a good start and run "du - sh ./" command. You may see abnormalities. Check the size of the log file /etc/httpd/logs see /var/log files (ls -lh) see files under /var/www/html these are the places where usually files are growing. Otherwise you server may be hacked and somebody is putting files anywhere they want.
