Quota synchronization needed?

[RavenSoul_]

Explain me this plz


Shell gives:

du -h someuser -- 122M someuser


WHM listing gives:

someuser:

Quota -- Used
500M -- 1114M


--

Where does the +1000M comes from?

What about the synchronization in WHM/Cpanel with the Linux OS (Fedora)?

I have a similar problem. Brand new user, with a 25mb limit. Immediately, without doing anything, they are out of disk space.

root@www3 [/home]# du -h brilncom
4.0K brilncom/mail
4.0K brilncom/public_ftp/incoming
8.0K brilncom/public_ftp
4.0K brilncom/public_html/cgi-bin
8.0K brilncom/public_html
4.0K brilncom/tmp/analog
4.0K brilncom/tmp/webalizer
28K brilncom/tmp/awstats
4.0K brilncom/tmp/webalizerftp
44K brilncom/tmp
80K brilncom

As you can see, they only have a handful of kb of space, but WHM says they are at over 25mb already.

Any ideas?

I ran /scripts/fixquotas and all is well.

And now I have a whole bunch of users that are now OVER QUOTA. That means that quotas haven't been working for who knows how long.

Nice...

Remember the mysql databases arnt in the users directory and they count towards disk space!

[sneader]

Yep, that is a good reminder. However, I did a directory listing on the drive with a grep on the username and there was nothing else to be found on the server. Also, in the user's cPanel, there is a place for "MySQL disk space" and that was zero.

The fixquota script, whatever it does, completely solved the problem.

Yeah it is strange. I've never noticed any quota conflictions myself but I hear of many others that have the issue. If this is popping up so much perhaps it should be in a cron job to run every week or so. To me controlling user quota's is pretty darn important.

Hi Have had same issues with new accounts being over quota 2 seconds after they have been created!

Real pain in the backside - Clients complain about stats being outofdate etc etc.. This needs to be fixed.

Hello,

We got the same issue in the past and /scripts/fixquotas has fixed the problem.

Hope it will help.

I have same problem, an user has this quota:

du -sh /home/tercera/
1,5G /home/tercera/

But the cPanel said:

Espacio utilizado 2475.86 MB
Espacio Disponible 24.14 MB
MySQL utilizado 69.75 MB
Tráfico (mensual) 13415.79 MB

/scripts/fixquotas didn't produce any changes. Any solution?

Solution: They are being count by uid. Do a find / -uid x (where x is a uid) to find all the files of that user.
