My server is filling up and i have no idea what's causing it.
I deleted a couple of large folders but it's still filling up.
Right now it used 76G out of 86G.
After using find / -size +70M -ls i found and deleted a lot of old tarballs but still, i'm puzzled.
Any ideas?
 
Maybe something got hacked and somebody is filling the server with files?
Onlyl way to find out is to search for big and/or lots of files and look where they are made.
Check ftpd logfiles, look into accounts which have unlimited space so they can fill up the server.

If not installed, then install a good firewall script like csf/lfd this could be a big help.
 
Thanks, I think it might have something to do with cache.
But still, 60gb?? o_O
csf/lfd is installed ;)
 
Maybe you can try this command to see which directory uses the most GB.
Code: 
du -h --max-depth=1 /
 
Thanks.
/home is a whopping 59G, 17G for /home/admin and 39G for /home/mysql.
Looking into it, the total of all databases is hardly 1.5G, where's the rest? o_O
 
Nice. :) Hope this fixes it for you.
What OS are you using? We don't have any /home/mysql because on Centos it's in /var/lib/mysql.
 
Thanks for the help, Richard.
I'm on Ubuntu ;)
Didn't have expire logs and max size set in my.cnf either.
It should be working (i hope).
