I have a 40 BG hard drive for my VPS, why on earth would this be full. I have rotated logs but that has not helped much. The only account is 2.5 BG big. Any thoughts? Is my VPS just too small.

  @ tank, Try below command to summarize the size of each directory. So that you can identify which directory took too much of space based on that you can move forward. root@testserver [/home/username]# du -h --max-depth=1

  Hello, 40GB is reasonably okay for a VPS with one website. You might check where the disk space is actually consumed. Use this command to find the complete disk consumption : # du -sch /* If you find, for eg, /var reports higher disk usage give the following command # du -sch /var/* ^ which would break-down and show the disk consumed in /var/ folder alone. Likewise check which folder is consuming more disk space.

  Hello :) Yes, as mentioned in the previous posts, you will need to check to see what's taking up your disk space. The following document might also help: How to Manage your Hard Drive Space Thank you.
