Problem with growing...

[pontifex]

Hi everyone,
currently i am running a webserver for my friends and me.

The server has the following partition structure:

/ ext3 /dev/sda1
/dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs
/home ext3 /dev/sda6

the problem is now that the mount point / ist growing and growing. the server is up (without reboot) 286 days 1 h 38 mins

will a reboot stop the growing? i looked up into the /var/log folder, but there are not so many files with much MB

i am a little bit confused. OS ist sarge 3.1

Run this command from the / directory to find out what is filling up your disk:
du -s * | sort -nr > $HOME/space_report.txt

The /home folder ist a separate mount point - but what about /var ?

Run
df -h to find out about your partitions or have a look into /etc/fstab.

Hi Falko,

i run the command the following output was produced:

Dateisystem Größe Benut Verf Ben% Eingehängt auf
/dev/sda1 6,5G 4,5G 1,7G 74% /
tmpfs 760M 0 760M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda6 138G 2,4G 129G 2% /home


So as you can see, the problem ist sda1. currently running ispconfig on this server.

Check your /var directory for large files (maybe log files, etc.).

Do you use MySQL replication? Then you shouldn't delete them!
