cPanel Overload / High Load on Account Termination

osirion
When I terminate large customer accounts (20GB+ / many inodes) via the WHM - server load shoots so high that the server is unresponsive for a long time (depending on the size 5-15minutes for example). Any way to throttle cPanel from choking itself out like this when doing a simple account delete? Thanks in advance!

    Hey there! That's interesting as this is one I haven't heard before, and I'm not seeing any current issues like this on my end. Do you happen to know how many inodes you were using? I setup an account that was using 100000 inodes and I didn't see any odd issues when terminating it.

    Hi There, It's nothing over the top. Here are the stats of the account that was deleted: Server Details: https://rivendell.osirion.com:2087/cPanel_magic_revision_1510076691/themes/x/icons/server_information.png

    Thanks for the additional details. None of that seems too crazy to me at all, so I'm wondering if there are other underlying issues with the machine, like a disk that's a bit slower than it should be. If you'd like to submit a ticket to our support team we could do some testing on our end to ensure there isn't an issue with cPanel itself on the system.

    This just happened to me also. Following to see if anything else comes around. My terminated account had 13 database, 7.23 GB of disk and 210,300 inodes. Anything interesting in the ticket @cPRex ?

    @laxbobber - this thread is a year old, and I don't have a record of that user creating a ticket as there is no ticket number mentioned here. If you could submit a ticket we'd be happy to check things on our end!

    @cPRex Sorry, I totally missed that! I had occasion to transfer tool another site and found the termination on the previous server caused jbd2 to jump high. I suspect it's related to the filesystem/raid catching up on piles of files disappearing. Probably nothing to worry about! Thanks for answering.
