Disk Usage Incorrect

[gertiebeth]

Hello. I have many sites that use scripts that allow for uploads that are assigned as user "nobody". Because of this the disk space usage is not correct for these sites. I know that I can go in via SSH and chown -R username.username * to get the correct usage for the sites, but we're talking about over 1500 sites. Is there are easier way to do this?

Long-term, you may wish to enable SuPHP and SuExec so the files are created as the user rather than user nobody.

I will do that. Will that also correct the current usage?

As the scripts will be running as the user, files created by the scripts will be owned by the user - therefore resolving your particular issue where files are not counted towards the quota since they are not owned by the user.
