the server HDD is filling up very fast

[th£ lord]

hello,
Thanks for help Zeiter.

There will be another responsibility.
If I do not upload data to the web pages, the server HDD is filling up very fast.
I looked at the logs, but I did not see what you were filling in.
I looked at the files over 100 MB of HDD. But there is no abnormality.
The last action I made. Let's encrypt install it.
There are no abnormalities in the Directadmin Error logs.

Why could it be? What do you think?

Hello,

It might be a php error log under user's home or public_html.

Run a loop and go into depths of your files with

cd /
du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -r -h

repeat it until you find a directory which consumes all the disk space.

Yes, I have reviewed all the error logs for users. It did not seem to be a problem and the HDD was full.
I did a 48 hour HDD check and no abnormal increase was observed. But I fear that it will happen again. Could it be why? I have no idea.

Yes, this question was resolved, thank you.
I did a deep review on the whole server with the following code. A site was logging at an extreme rate. 58GB
I stopped the problematic site and deleted it. Problem solved

du -h --max-depth=1

It might mean that you don't have disk quotas enabled on your server. Disk quotas should limit an user's disk usage.
