cPanel/WHM occupying about 13 Giga, is it normal?

    Hey there! That sounds pretty reasonable and normal to me. I would expect the cPanel installation to be at least 1G. You also need to consider the operating system itself, databases, temporary files, logs, and the other things needed to make a server function besides cPanel itself.

    Hello, I have a VPS with cPanel/WHM. When I run "df -h" it tells me I still have 31GB avail on my VPS, out of 50GB, hence I'm using 19GB [CODE=bash]root@xxx [~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/ploop47657p1 50G 31G 20G 61% / none 1.0G 0 1.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup none 1.0G 0 1.0G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.0G 0 1.0G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.0G 944K 1.0G 1% /run tmpfs 205M 0 205M 0% /run/user/0 root@xxx [~]#
    When i go into "Home " Account Information " List AccountsDocumentation" all my cPanel accounts are occupying about 18GB Is the cPanel/WHM application itself occupying about 1GB then?

    df -h shows that you are using 31GB of 50GB. If your cPanel accounts use 18GB then OS & cPanel/WHM use 13GB.

    If your cPanel accounts use 18GB then OS & cPanel/WHM use 13GB.

    Which still doesn't sound unlikely when you also account for logs and what not. /usr/local/cpanel in itself takes up roughly 6GB of space.

    Thanks, I have just fixed the subject of this thread

    Mine 4 GB :rolleyes: [CODE=bash]root@xxx [/usr/local]# du -sh * ... 3.9G cpanel ...
    There are still 9 GB that are occupied by something else? :mad:

    You'll just need to keep looking with the "du" command to find where the space is. I recommend starting from / with these two commands: cd / du -h --max-depth 1
    Then, let's say you find /var uses a lot of space. You would just run that again moving deeper into the system: cd var du -h --max-depth 1
    and repeat that process until you find where the space is being used. More details on this work can be found here: Checking disk usage for your cPanel server.
