Hello,

With at least some users (I don't have records off them all for this problem) the discspace isn't updated since the last DirectAdmin update I did a month back. Even when the user removes all data it still says that that user is using 1210MB off discspace.

What did I try:
server1:/home/admin# echo "action=tally&value=all" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
server1:/home/admin# /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d (no errors showing)

Can someone give me an idea on where to look/how to solve this problem?

Some technical information:
- Operating system: Debian 3.1 (yes we have to update it)
- DirectAdmin 1.30.1

Other information on request.

With kind regards,

Mark Scholten
 
Hello,

There is an issue where oversized bandwidth.tally files cause the dataskq to chew on it for a long time. You can check the /var/log/directadmin/system.log to see which User's tally had started by didn't finish, then you'll know which bandwidth.tally is oversized.

For the next release (about a week from now or less) we do have optimizations that can chew through very huge bandwidth.tally files (tested on 1.4 gig file, 2 minutes).

For the time being, you can just delete the current bandwidth.tally.

Note that the main cause of oversized tally files is excessive email sending.
You'll want to check your /etc/virtual/usage/username.bytes file for big files. This bytes file gets dumped into the bandwith.tally file every night.

Thanks, John. I think you've just identified another place to look to see if one of our users is spamming, either intentionally or unintentionally.
