I got a small problem my / partition is full and I have no idea why yet. I have already ran a file system break down and looked thru each folder one by one using du command and when I couldn't find it I opened a ticket. Three TP Techs have looked at it and cannot figure it out either so now I'm looking to find an alternative which is leaning towards and OS reload. File system checks have been ran twice and came up with nothing. I must have a partition overlap or somewhere a file is linked to / but what I have no idea it just popped up when I rebooted the system during the H1 outages and its been that way ever since. Its not causing to many problems but I am having fantastico update issues and Cpanel update is throwing up partition full errors when it does an update.

Any BSD peeps around doesn't look like this area gets much attention unsure.gif

Can you PM me a ticket number so that I can take a look into the issue? Sometimes what happens, is a file is written to a folder (say /drive2) before the device gets mounted. Then when the device is mounted, the data that is taking up the space is 'hidden' from common tools like du.

There was data on / that was hidden from du when the second drive didnt auto mount it started writing data to / and I deleted this data and mounted the second drive but I guess it didnt get it all I had suspected there was something there I just couldnt find it, James found it for me so all is well now
