Just responded to a website that exceeded its quota and noticed the usr folder in the site's web folder takes up 265MB. Mostly shared between lib and share. This appears to be added to the quota assigned to the site. However, I think these are generic files and folder over which the client has no control. Would it not be better to exclude this from quota calculations or am I missing something obvious? Alternatively, I'll have to add about 300MB to some site quota configs to counter this. Code: # du -hd1 ../usr/ 24K ../usr/sbin 55M ../usr/lib 13M ../usr/bin 197M ../usr/share 265M ../usr/ # du -hd1 ../usr/share/ 32M ../usr/share/vim 138M ../usr/share/php 6.9M ../usr/share/terminfo 21M ../usr/share/perl 197M ../usr/share/
The files in these folders are part of the jail and owned by the root user and therefore they do not count to the website quota. So these folders are not the reason or your overquota problem.
That's exactly what I thought, but then the below doesn't tally with ISPconfig which shows current usage at 1.12GB... Code: # du -hd1 .. 8.0K ../home 3.1M ../tmp 6.8M ../lib 36K ../ssl 4.7M ../bin 265M ../usr 5.3M ../private 4.0K ../cgi-bin 4.0K ../webdav 16K ../run 28K ../var 4.0K ../backup 931M ../web 4.0K ../dev 84K ../etc 172K ../log 4.0K ../lib64 4.0K ../.ssh 1.2G .
You can't measure this with the du command in that way. Linux system quota is user-based. You did not measure space by user, you measured space by directory. But what's in which directory does not matter for the quota. To check quota, use the command: repquota -avu
