    My /dev/mapper/centos-root is mapped to / and is 100% full. This is causing issues with services crashing and the server becoming unstable. However, I am not sure why this keeps happening. /home is far from full, where all user data is stored. I clear out /tmp with tmpwatch, I removed old logs in /var/log and any unnecessary files.

    Code:
    root@web508 [/]# df
Filesystem              1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/centos-root  52403200  52192296    210904 100% /

    and

    Any way to resolve this?

    Hello,

    Your home and boot is mounted on other partition. I think your /var and /usr directory are using all the disk space.

    Can you please let me know following command out so that I can assist you on this.

    Code:
    df -h

cd /

du -sch * --exclude=home

    Hello,

    If you are unable to make free space on your server and your mysql directory is using high disk space then you can move your mysql directory to /home partition with the following post

    Thank you! This definitely helped. Got rid of some data that was no longer needed.

    I will do this. Since MySQL is used so much by hosting customers, it makes sense that its on the largest partition. Thanks for this!

    Hello,

    Yes, MySQL is using huge disk space on the shared hosting server. Also you can use separate SSD drive for your mysql databases. Attached new SSD drive to your server and mount that on /database directory.
