disk usage wrong?

[plague]

Hello guys

I have some questions in here..
My cpanel is showing my disk space usage wrong. In some pages in this forum, I see that script diskusage.cgi uses the du -b command.
If I edit it to use du -h it will solve my issue?
And how can I do this?

Well, any help will be appreciated.

thank you

PS: the count of total disk usage is about 3 or 5MB more than real space used.

disk pace usage is way off in more ways than that

It doesnt count SQL storage
It doesnt count lot sof usage
I have a photogallery that uses 250 mb of space and had a forum and some more contant and cpanel reports the disk usage as 30 mb

Try running script


/scripts/fixquota

thanks for the replies, but...
fixquotas didn't work. And adding the SQL usage with the disk space that the disk usage viewer shows, the usage doesn't match too.

Somebody knows how to fix this error? Or where can I find the config of the Disk Usage Viewer.

Thanks for all ^^'

Did you guys try toggling a 0 to 1 in cpanel.config?

disablequotacache=0 to disablequotacache=1 in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config

Ive got the same problem.

Ive tried:
fixquotas - no changes
fixeverything - disk usage was shown Zero.
fixquotas - again - the disk usage is shown as before (wrong)
Tried disablequotacache=0 and gave 12 hours - no change
even tried upcp --force - nothing

Ive looked in forums - find one tutorial (about changing fstab...) whitch is not good for me.

Please cPanel solve this issue:

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-S119
SuSE 10.0 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

Don't rely on cpanel scripts alone to find disk usage, it is reported often as buggy . Use the command du -hs inside a script or console.ie du -hs /home/username/ .This will solve the problem .

Look at this thread, it may be what you need if you are not running phpsuexec

That is IT ! Thank You

[jack01]

...And what if we are using phpsuexec, how then do we fix the Disk Space Usage problem?
I thought this problem was supposed to have been resolved in previous cpanel releases???
Can anyone shed some light? Thanks.

[jayh38]

Try running the script anyway... you may have nobody files if you recently changed over to phpsuexec???? it wouldnt hurt anything to try it ..
