System Administration Questions

[tooljob\]

We have CentOS with Plesk 8.0 on a new install (3 months old).

I am by no means a advanced level sysadmin, Im the one stuck with fixing things.

Anyhow we have a 160Gig hardrive with RAID on the box.

We only have 38 gigs left on the machine when I do a df -h.

Im trying to figure out what is eating up this disk? There are about 50 sites on the server, but I checked their sizes and none equal up the amount being eaten away.

If any experience sysadmin can help me with some clues on what
and where things may be eating up my disk I would greatly appreiciate it.

Thanks TJ

I would suggest looking for...

1) Log files that have grown especially large. Look in the /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics directory for these.

2) Plesk backups - /var/lib/psa/dumps (I think)

You can see the size of a directory and all of its subdirectories using the 'du -hs' command.

Hope that helps!
