restore failure from disk space - now what?

[bjseiler]

I was running a "test move" to consolidate around 60 domains from a few old servers to a new one. I wanted to see how much space they would all take and the restore time. Using the reseller backup, I moved all backups to the new server and did a reseller restore to a shared ip.

It looks like it got through about 90% and the /usr partition filled up. I am not sure what to do next or how messed up the configurations are going to be. I can see databases in mysql, I can see files in /home, but none of the domains are listed in the DA admin section.

Does apache, etc., not get updated until the very end of a restore? I am just wondering if I should just delete the databases and files or if there are going to be issues with configurations still showing those domains since I can't cleanly remove them from the DA admin.

Start over. If you're not using Dovecot on the new server, switch to it.

You may need to reinstall your OS, and rebuild your partitions.

Tell us whether you're using Maildir/Dovecot, or Mbox, and also post the output of

$ df -h

on both the old and the new server and perhaps we can give you some more suggestions.

I was able to delete /usr/ports and that opened about a gig of space. Seems like that was enough for DA to kind of recover so that I started seeing the domains in the control panel and was then able to delete them. I guess lesson learned - don't bulk restore domains unless you know exactly how much space they are going to take up.
