Domain disk usage is WRONG

Hi,

I noticed that a domain on my server was overusing 400mb. It told that the domain total usage was 1400 mb, but i knew for sure that the real usage was about 500mb.

I searched the internet, and found that i should disable the backup space when calculating statistics. FIne. But now, after doing this, and recalculating the statistics, it is telling me that the domain usage is 120 mb!!!

How can be this possible?

It only happens to one domain as far as i'm concerned, i've checked others and seem to be ok, but....


Any idea?
 
Domain disk usage is actually not wrong

Hi,
the domain disk usage calculation includes:

log files and statistic reports
databases
mailboxes
Java applications
mailing lists
domain backup files

Sometimes mailboxes are big (e.g. 5 mailboxes with a 200MB quota), so if you want to solve this "problem" you have at least 2 choices:

1) include the mailboxes maximum quota in the Disk space limit (e.g. add 5*200MB=1GB)
2) remove mailboxes from the calculation of the disk usage, to do so:

a) select settings from the left menu in your plesk panel
b) choose "Settings of Server Statistics" in the "Logs & Statistics" section
c) in "Include in the disk space usage calculation" uncheck "mailboxes"
d) click on OK, domain disk usages will update next statistics calculation (but if you want you can force it from the console by executing /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics)

Hope this can help
