WHM shows disk space as 80GB when true space is 150GB

[PeterJBishop]

Hey guys!

Just a quick one, it's been boggling my mind all day!

Does anybody have any idea as to why WHM states that my disk capacity is 80GB when it's true size is 150GB (confirmed)?

Thanks in advance

Package quota size, or used disk space?

 

[PeterJBishop]

Apparently, used disk space is 12% of 80GB... I have 150GB mounted, not 80.

When you say, "mounted" what do you mean by that? Got a screenshot you can share showing what the issue is?

 

[PeterJBishop]

Although my actual drive is 150GB in capacity, cPanel shows it as 80GB.

Screenshot below:

That shows that the size of the root ("/") partition is 80GB, it does NOT show the size of the hard disk.

Go to WHM-> Server Status-> Server Information-> Physical Disks
and you should see the size of the hard disk.

And below that you see "Current Disk Usage".

This is a VPS, I have no physical drives. Any other way of checking as Physical Drives comes up blank?

What do you see under "Current Disk Usage"?

In SSH command prompt type:

df -h

what do you get?

 

[PeterJBishop]

It's been sorted. It wasn't a cPanel issue after all but an issue with the node itself. I'm using a new host that's just popped up on the market. I gave them some "friendly" advice. Haha.

Thanks for the help.

WHM-> Home-> Server Status-> Server Information-> Current Disk Usage
and
WHM-> System Health-> Show Current Disk Usage

You are able to use disk space under partition /home. Disk Usage from WHM will show you available space and used space for each partition. You can use available free space of /home for your sites.

Hello,

While this is a prehistoric post, I ran into a similar problem just this week on DigitalOcean. Resizing the attached disk is not enough - one must remember to resize the file system as well. Instructions to do so for ext4 and xfs can be found here:

DigitalOcean increase volume size with two steps

DigitalOcean increase volume size is done by two steps. First we increase the volume from DigitalOcean panel. Then we expand the filesystem from the droplet

bobcares.com

In short use resize2fs for ext4 and xfs_growfs for xfs.

Partition is not occupying all the disk. Disk is disk, partition on top of it is something else. You see partitions, when you check available disk space. Most likely need to resize partition (well, be careful here).
