According to what you've showed us you only have 1 2Tb disk, the other is probably not mounted. Run the following and display your output please: du -h --max-depth=1 / fdisk -a

It looks like you're using Software RAID. Looks also like you have a lot of data outside of your existing partitions, so it resides in / Can you run this command as root, and let us know what you see: ls -laSh /

You will need to reformat and increase the / partiton if you have mounted as lvm you can do it without reformat

First check the size of / partition and see if all the space have been occupied by it. After this you will have to reformat the partition and increase the size of / partition. Before repartition please make sure that you keep the backup of required files/folders for safety purpose.

Looks like you have unwanted data in / partition. Check the data in / partition using the details provided earlier by other users and remove the unwanted data.

Typical rubbish OVH install - There seems to be a regular re-occurring theme where this crops up every couple of days. Scenario: someone wants to be a host, goes out and gets cheapest server they can. Install CPanel, migrate clients/get clients on server, disk fills up because they did not set it up as per the CPanel guidelines, they come here and say "help" disk is full what can I do! OP, not specifically having a go at you, but please search the forums there are countless responses saying what you need to do - eg: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1300690 from a few days ago.

In majority of the cases the disk space utilization would be due to log files or mysql data directory present in /var ( I can't see any separate /var partition). In such cases, moving the log files /mysql datadir to another partition and creating a softlink to the current location would fix the issue.
