CPanel shows incorrect disk usage

[domic]

WHM / "Quota Modification" shows correct disk usage:

Disk Used 159M

# quota user1
Disk quotas for user user1 (uid 521):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/sda5 44 10240000 10240000 33 0 0
/dev/sda8 163548 10240000 10240000 17547 0 0
/dev/sda2 4 10240000 10240000 3 0 0

/dev/sda8 /home
/dev/sda2 /var
/dev/sda5 /

But CPanel shows incorrect disk usage:
0.05/10000 MB

Please help!

P.S. /scripts/fixquotas has not helped

Common reasons for quota problems
- There are files owned by the same user elsewhere on the server
- The backup directory is being counted towards the users disk quota
- Extra log files are being counted towards the users quota

Step 1. Find the user account where the quotas are incorrect and login to your server in SSH as root.

Step 2. Go to the users folder and check their disk space being used.
cd /home/username
du -h or try du -hs

Step 3. Check /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to make sure there is no weirdness where the username shows up multiple times.

Step 4. Try finding other files owned by the user.
find -user username | more
This will list all files owned by this user that could be affecting the quota reported by Cpanel.

Step 5. Uncompressed backups can cause quota problems, ensure your backups are compressed in the WHM backup options.

Step 6. After your determine the source of the files and remove them then run /scripts/fixquotas

This can happen when the cache file used to display the quota value is out of date. The file in question is ~/.cpanel/datastore/quota_-v

Remove that file then refresh the cPanel interface.

Hi,

I tried those tricks without success.
Anything else?

I had similar issues when I transferred a website over to the server. Some of the directories were used to upload things like pictures etc. They did not share the same ownership. I fixed the owner and now all is well with the world.
