Hard Disk Space

[gordon77]

I seem to be having some issues on our web server with HD Space.

one of the partitions is full. Has this server been set up correctly or should those folders reside on a larger hard drive possibly hda7?

dev/hda5 4 994.56 MB 4 408.99 MB 585.57 MB 88.28%

Directories /usr/local/psa

/dev/hda6 4 994.56 MB 4 994.56 MB 0.00 MB 100%

Directories /var/lib/mysql
/var/qmail/mailnames
/var/named/run-root

/dev/hda7 63 758.17 MB 766.00 MB 62 992.16 MB 1.2%

Directories /home/httpd/vhosts

/dev/hda1 509.52 MB 312.47 MB 171.16 MB 61.33%

This seems like a very odd way to partition things.

It isn't clear from your post if the directories listed are for the partition above or below the line.

e.g. what's on hda6? /usr/local/psa or mysql etc?

But either way it looks like madness to me.

With large modern hard disks and filesystems etc, I'm told there is no need for all this multi-partition nonsense (but separate /boot and /tmp and /everythingelse is usually a good idea, and a separate /tmp (mounted noexec) is very often suggested. Some also suggest a separate /var/log in case log files get out of hand. But at any rate I'd never partition things like your machine seems to have been partitioned. I simply can't see the point. You need lots of space for /home/httpd/vhosts (web files) and for /var/qmail (email) and /var/lib/mysql (for your databases) and one or more of those seems to be massively limited in your configuration.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be able to answer with more authority than I can.
