Hello everyone. Apologies if this is a silly question but I have had virtual min running on a 20GB VPS and it is already 85% full, it was 7% this morning. I force a log rotations and it vanishes only to come back. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance?
Howdy,
Well, my recommendation would be to figure out what’s taking up all the space.
If it’s related to a log file, it’s likely that file would exist in /var/log, or one of the subdirectories there. You may want to poke around in there and see if there’s any files larger than 1GB.
If there are – you may want to take a look at that log, and see if there’s a process generating a lot of log output.

The commands df -h and du -sh * can help greatly when trying to figure out where all that missing disk space is going.
