var2?

I have been doing some disk clean up and learned on one server I have a /var2 directory which has 64 GBs in it. What's weird is if I run du -sch * var returns 0. But it's full of stuff. More than var2. What the heck?

  Plus, I have yet to figure out how to attack this 83% disk full issue: /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root How do I figure out what that is, and reduce the amount of data?

  I have been trying to follow the documentation on managing your HD disk space. However, the servers I am working with are using Cloud LInux with CageFs and when I use the command: du -sh / I get only something like the following back: du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/612486/task/612486/fd/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/612486/task/612486/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/612486/fd/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/612486/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/995240/task/995254/fd/2111': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/995240/task/599281/fdinfo/2110': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/995240/task/599281/fdinfo/2111': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/proc/995240/task/600198/fdinfo/2110': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/612486/task/612486/fd/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/612486/task/612486/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/612486/fd/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/612486/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/615293/task/615293/fdinfo/306': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/615550': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/615558': No such file or directory

  Well, at least I got that one step cleared up in that Cloud Linux support said I needed to run an exclude path to the command before I got the disk space results.

  Hello, Could you let us know the output after excluding those directories in the command? Also, please post the specific command you are using to verify the disk space usage. Thank you.

  Check to see if /var exists as a symbolic link to the /var2 directory with a command such as:
  stat /var
  Thank you.
