virtuozzo drive usage

[mobiustrip44]

i have a plesk config running on virtuozzo through a hosting provider.

i'm supposed to have 80gb of drive space but only 50gb is available. the hoster is telling me that virtuozzo is using the other 30gb. is that possible? how much drive space should virtuozzo be using?

You didnt mention what os, so here is an example with psa and some other common applications installed on fedora-core-1:

~ # vzctl create 25000 --pkgset fedora-core-1 --config configname --hostname test.com

Hope this helps.

I don't think your base OS is 30 gigs! Just as an example, RHEL AS3 templates for me take up about 600 megs or so with plesk installed on a VE.

Hope this helps

Sounds like your Host is kind of shady and probably ripping you off!

no kidding huh... 80 gigs is also pretty large for a VPS in most cases.

Make sure this is protected/redundant storage and BTW, do they give you a snapshot with your VPS?
