Drive Space Warning on

I hope someone can answer this, I'm having the same problem. In the past I got this only once a day and that was fine, but now every few minutes...this is crazy.

 

Search is your friend. There is a thread in here that already addresses this with some guidance on correcting. Hint: Search for Drive Space, look at thrid result.

 

Hi,

Does anyone have the mentioned link above? Im pretty sure forums arent supposed to be cross word-esque. Getting the same problem, even though ive turned off disk notifications!!

Cheers guys,

*** how to customize limits ***

Hello

another way to fix the problem is the following (*** how to customize limits ***)

#pico /usr/sbin/chkservd

using CTRL+w search this "if ($per > 90) {"

you will find this

Code:

     if ($per > 90) {
               $diskbody = $diskbody . "Drive Critical: $dsk ($drv) is ${per}% full\n\n";
               $disksubject = "Drive Space Critical on $hostname\n";
            } elsif ($per > 80) {

90 (%) should be for critical warnings
80 should be for standard warnings

If you are receiving 1 millions email disk warning like me :p ,
and you cannot freeup space , change 90 with
your current max limit + 5 (i.e)
and change 80 with your current max limit + 2 (i.e)

Now save the file and close pico .
Execute
#service cpanel restart

It should work , also if these values should be changed everytime you
update cpanel .

Bye

 

Possible solution?

Could it be that the cpanel restart doesn't restart the chkservd? I believe that restart isn't needed, and instead after editing the file, execute:

service chkservd restart

This caused my system to stop sending the emails constantly!

More likely it's because they fixed the issue in a recent release of chkservd

 

Hi people.
This is the current chkservd
"
if ($per > 90) {
$diskbody = $diskbody . "Drive Critical: $dsk ($drv) is ${per}% full\n\n";
$disksubject = "Drive Space Critical on $hostname\n";
} elsif ($per > 86) {
$diskbody = $diskbody . "Drive Warning: $dsk ($drv) is ${per}% full\n\n";
"
I still get many many msgs with almost same msg

"Drive Warning: /hda5 (/var) is 81% full"

How is this possible ?

Is there anywhere else where this number "80" is present ?

 

Which version of cPanel are you using? Are you running the latest version for your tree?

 

WHM 10.1.0 cPanel 10.2.0-S83
CentOS 3.5 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

 

The funny thing is that once I change the chkservd and run update it gets easy for a while, but then some time after that it gets really wild and sends over 20 email msgs at once and again I have to go to save the chkservd file...

Is there a workarround that will not need the update of cpanel since it is critical that this one remain at least for a 10 days period.

 

Anyone ? solution ?

 

Well, the issue eon't be fixed for you since you're running an old STABLE release. I suggest you upgrade to the latest STABLE and see if the problem is fixed.
