Disk Usage : 160.1 MB / 80 MB ????

It's certainly a nonsense of the user's usage showing ..

Disk Usage : 160.1 MB / 80 MB


What's going on? The user shouldn't be suspended when the disk limit is exceeded, however, why he can still upload files larger than 2 times of their limit?

Guys... Isn't it need some improvement..?


This is an automated message notifying User freetalk that 0% of his/her bandwidth and 200.125% of his/her allocated disk space has been used up.

It is estimated, at the current rate of use, that the account bandwidth will be used up in -1.00 days, at which time the account will be suspended for the remainder of the month.

The User should contact Support if this is an issue.

The problem is that there is no checking inbetween when DA runs its tallies (every 24 hours)

There has been talk about upping the frequency that DA does its tally and to add live quotas which would elliminate this problem.
Search the feature request forum there is a thread floating around in there with instructions on modifying the cron job to have DA do its tally more frequently than every 24 hours.

Live quotas was said to be implemented in one of these next few releases, not sure on the tally though since you can modify that yourself.

i've got a couple of website used twice of their allocated web space, DA doesn't suspend them, so this is bug?

Depends on how you look at it, but technically its not a bug.

Because DirectAdmin does not do live quotas at this time (will soon) and only checks every 24 hours, if a user uploaded more than his package came with nothing would happen because DA would know nothing about it until it ran its next check at mid-night.
In a case like this is when those messed up messages are sent and the user account should be disabled once it has checked and realised that the user has actually gone over his limit.
If it doesn't even after 24 hours or the next midnight check and your sure its done its tally because stats have been updated etc. Better make sure the suspend box is checked for that account or something more serious is wrong.

This has been discussed and will be addressed in a future version.
