Transfer tool and Disk Allocation
While migrating a site from Plesk, we have this issue taking place...
Target "/home" on host "server_name" has has 54.83 GB free and requires at least 69.88 GB free
The size of the migrated site is only 7 gigs. WHY is Cpanel trying to allocate 69+ gigs for a 7 gig transfer? And can we control this?
(one admin in house suggested Cpanel is ready disk space incorrectly for the account...as the exact size of the site is 6958.7 MB ...?)

OK...a quick update. We decided to use another server which had more space for the migration. We did not expect what happened next... As noted, Plesk shows that the subscription is using using about 7+ gigs of space. when I run a "Check Folder size" command in Plesk, the main folders only show about 5.9 gigs used (so the rest must be email)... After migration, the total size on disk for the subscription with mail is 27 gigs. Where did that extra 20 gigs come from? 0 -
Hi @Raymond Hayes You can use something like: du -h --max-depth=1
in the / directory to see where the allocation of space is (then in lower directories to further drill down) but cPanel shouldn't be showing incorrect values. Really, I'd suggest opening a ticket so we can look into this further. Once open please reply with the Ticket ID here so that we can update this thread with the resolution once the ticket is resolved. Thanks!0 -
Following up (sorry took so long...sooo busy). We found that Plesk was not seeing some additional backup folders created by Wordpress, thus giving us the incorrect number. Cpanl was correct. After we cleared those backup files, both matched in size. Glad we're leaving Plesk... 0 -
Oh wow! I'm glad to hear that you've got it sorted out now. Thank you for updating here what the resolution of the issue ended up being. 0
