Drive Space Warning [ /dev/root (/var/named/chroot/var/run/dbus) ]

[cool999]

Hello,

today i got email -


Drive Warning: /dev/root (/var/named/chroot/var/run/dbus) is 81% full

But why its increasing automatically?? I didn't install any new thing on server...

yesterday it was 80% and today 81% and if it keeps increasing like this, after few days it will be 100% and server will be down...

and how can i clear up some space there?

Please let me know..

Thanks

/dev/sda1 9.7G 7.5G 1.8G 82% /

Also the output of

df -h

Check

du -sh /home/*

[ModServ]

111G /home/xxxxinfo

This user used 111Gigabyte of disk space, The problem is here.

check this

du -sh /home/xxxxinfo/*

to see the used space from where.

[cool999]

/dev/sda1 9.7G 7.6G 1.7G 82% /
/dev/sda2 914G 134G 735G 16% /home
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
/usr/tmpDSK 485M 13M 447M 3% /tmp

Also the output of

Like Me_388 said, problem is that account. You can track the big file&folder by going step by step like

as an example:

du -sh /home/xxxxinfo/*
100G /home/xxxxinfo/www

du -sh /home/xxxxinfo/www/*
98G /home/xxxxinfo/www/test

du -sh /home/xxxxinfo/www/test/*
98G /home/xxxxinfo/www/test/bigfile.txt

So you can find the exact file&folder.

Hello,

After you get the output of df -h then it appears that this user has no problem as you have 1TB HDD.

The 7.6GB space is used by /var and /usr then you should go with removing the logs inside
/usr/local/apache/logs/
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/
then remove the temp files inside
/var/lib/mysql/
but beware of this to avoid removing the databases of your accounts.
The temp files will look like this
mysql-bin.000012
mysql-bin.000013
mysql-bin.000014

remove them all and you should now have a free space.

Sure.

Go inside this folder

/usr/local/apache/logs/

and execute this command

rm -rf *_log

then go inside this folder

/usr/local/apache/domlogs

and execute this command

rm -rf *

then after that go inside this folder

/var/lib/mysql/

then check the file names FIRST to not remove the databases, If it was like that mysql-bin.000012 mysql-bin.000013 then you should execute this command

rm -rf mysql-bin.*

Beware of this commands to not remove any important files or users data.
