i have a fresh new vps from my host, they have just rebuild the vps with debian os, i think the vps was rebuild 3 times and every time the output of the df command is : /$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/simfs 31457280 18347564 13109716 59% / tmpfs 4150660 0 4150660 0% /lib/init/rw tmpfs 4150660 0 4150660 0% /dev/shm i don't know what to delete, i can't find nothing, 10gb of space is used, i don't think the os is 10gb

Looks like the quota is messed up. If it is OpenVZ or Virtuozzo based, then it could very well be that the vzquota is messed up. One way to fix it is to stop the VE, remove the /var/vzquota/quota.VEID file (replace VEID with the VE's ID), and then start the VPS back up again. This should force the system to rebuild the quota. I am sure there are more graceful ways of doing it, but this dirty way I had to use once when a system was having serious issues is the first way that came to mind.

Can you please go to cd / and type du -sch * This would help us to know what is consuming more diskspace.

The OP, I'd recommend being careful who you give your password out to.

i'm sorry i can't give the password, i posted here because the host where i am don't really care about my problem, and maybe if i can find what is wrong maybe they will fix it

Hmm.. sounds like the quota is messed up. Can you paste the o/p of cd / && ls -la /*quota* repquota -a You should contact the VPS owner for further troubleshooting. If you are looking for a Admin help, PM me anytime..

I would actually ask that you did not request people to email you directly or PM you their server's login information. That is not a trend I would like to see happen here. This is not a server administrator broker system, it is intended to be a public forum for people to discuss and help people online (on the forum, using the forum). The reason it is public is so that other people on the forum can see the given situation, see every step taken and be helped if their situation was similar. Directing people away from the forum in any way seems to go against the purpose of this forum. I am sure your intentions may be pure, but giving the viewers of this forum the idea that it is acceptable to pass your server's login information to other members of this forum so they can work out server issues is a bad trend. One might assume that they should come here for that, and one might assume that it is a good and trustworthy thing to do. This is a public forum, and so that is not true. The public does in fact contain many people that are not to be trusted. That's just my two cents.
