Disk usage is wrong

[overlord]

Hello,

I noticed last night that one of my users was reporting 1.77mb disk usage. I found this very odd, because the backup tarball of his site was around 500mb. I googled around and searched through this forum, and read about the command:

echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

Well, I ran that command and it is still at 1.77mb. Whats else can I do?? Here is a screenshot that shows the issue:

Any suggestions?

Double check the correct partition is being used, and that quotas are working correctly:

Hi,

How have you solved your problem? I think I've got the same problem. I'm not the host but a reseller. We are using DA 1.28.6.

I've got the same problem as overlord. DA is showing a lot less disk usage then actually is used. Just like in overlord's image.

The only thing I noticed, that DA only counts files which have UID and GID apache(uploaded by php). And my own files uploaded with ftp with UID and GID bri***** aren't counted. Tested this by downloading 50 mb UID and GID apache files and uploaded them again with FTP so they got UID and GID bri***** after that I updated my disk usage and it showed 50 mb less then before.

Does somebody have the same problem and a solution for this?

Thanks in advance

Thats normal, quota counts only the used data of a user not the used data of a directory.

Allright that's logical. But shouldn't count it MY files and not the PHP/Apache files. Or better shouldn't count it the files I've placed on the server with FTP and with PHP/Apache with a upload script or something like that.

Example:

UID & GID = Apache and has 5 files with a total of 200 mb
UID & GID = MyUSER and has 10 files with a total of 300 mb

When i Login with MyUSER to directadmin the disk quata shows 200 mb.
But all my data in total is 500 mb. So it looks a litte weird those 200 mb.

If you're a reseller and don't have access to the server then your questions should be answered by your hosting company as only they can do anything that needs to be done.
