disk usage wrong?

[ramorse]

I ran fixquotas, it only took about 10 minutes. Seems to have heleped a bit. Though the one account that was way off is still off. But only by 30 MBs, not 120 MBs.

Old topic but actual problem.

I´m having this problem in two servers, and fixquotas / fixeverything don´t help.

Please, Cpanel Owners and ConfigServer professionals, help us.

Reboot your vps and try fixquotas again... I assume it's a vps since I have the same problem and was fixed by rebooting and issuing fixquotas again.

It isn´t VPS.

Dedicated servers.

 

[marvin]

Have you tried rebooting it and issue fixquotas anyway?

 

[strikinado]

Yes, the only way to resolve this is creating a cpanel backup (pkgacct) and terminate account, and restore using this created backup.

Thank you all

Thanks for the info. But in my case I did recreate the account several times and the above steps were I found effective to solve my issue. It could vary depending on configuration???

Since the disk usage is broke and has been forever then the quota system is pointless as well

Have an account with quota of 500 mb - disk usage and quota ONLY see space in public_html

this user was at 505 mb - as I began to poke around the new file manager showed me that he also had a old.public_html folder that was also using 500+ mb of space

so file manager see the right file sizes BUT quota and cpanel only see the data in public_html

in this case user was using over 2.5 x quota

I would recommend submitting a support ticket regarding this issue. Typically all files owned by a user will be counted towards their disk quota, which obviously is not happening in your situation.

disk usage

Hello,

I am hoping that someone can help me.

Am I incorrect in thinking that du -h will show me where all disk usage is being used inside an account?...including space being used by hidden files?

Thank you for your assistance.

Okay, so it doesn't show space being used by hidden files. Is there a command that does?
