/usr 95% full

Hello,

You can remove the below given directories to make more space in /usr partition.

==============

37M apache.backup
241M apache.backup_archive
1.6G apache.bkp
910M apache.bkp.mar10
39M apache.ea3-buildok-confgen-failed
66M apache.tar

==============

Here goes some tips to free up /usr Partition.


Step 1 : If domlogs is the main reason that /usr is large,

cd /usr/local/apache
mv /usr/local/apache/domlogs /home/
ln -s /home/domlogs domlogs (you should still be in /usr/local/apache when running this command)



Step 2 : If mailman is the main reason that /usr is large, you could try leaving the binaries in place and only move the space-consuming items such as the logs, messages, and so on.

cp -R /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman /home/mailman.bak



After doing that, move only these directories in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/ location:

archives
lists
logs
messages

mkdir /home/mailman
cd /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman
mv archives /home/mailman
mv lists /home/mailman
mv logs /home/mailman
mv messages /home/mailman


After that, symlink them back to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman location:

ln -s /home/mailman/archives /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives
ln -s /home/mailman/lists /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists
ln -s /home/mailman/logs /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs
ln -s /home/mailman/messages /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/messages



Finally, chown for ownership to mailman:mailman:

chown -R mailman:mailman /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/{archives,lists,logs,messages



If anything doesn't work properly, then you can revert to your backup copy that you ensured to make and try to figure out another option such as only moving the archives instead.

 

i see you use maldet.
maybe you issues come from /root partition
on my root servers i observe sometimes maldet is crashing and filling up the /root partition with coredump files and /usr and /sda5 runs out of space
check your /root for any core files such as
core.12105
core.12109
core.12173
core.20074 56.8M
core.20096 56.8M
and delete them

 

Hello,

They are apache backups which are taken manually and backup taken during easy apache. Manually taken backup will be always of huge size and the other won't be.

When you do an easy apache , an apache backup will be auto created which is of less size. No need to worry.
