Disk Quota Issue - Locating The Folders With The Highest Number Of Files
we've been having issues with reaching or exceeding our disk quotas. I've checked carefully, and while I've cleared our mail queue's, I don't think that's the issue.
So what I'm really looking for is a way to figure out why we have so many files (our quota is 220000, and I'm pretty confident that we aren't intentionally doing anything to create so many files). There's lots of information on finding the folders with the largest file sizes, but locating the folders with the greatest number of files isn't quite so simple--or at least, it doesn't seem very clear to me.
Does anyone know a way via the command line to figure out this information, short of going through every single folder and figuring out how many files are in the specific folder?

Setting Disk Quota In VPS
I'm running a VPS, it sounds weird but its more like a learning lab I bought to help me get better skills in linux environment, so far I've learned a bit more in BIND and apache. I use the panel webmin, I tried setting a mount but it didn't work. The mounted devices output this: simfs on / type simfs (rw) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec) Now, that struck me is that other VPSes that have CentOS with cpanel has their disk quota installed already. (That includes directadmin and lxadmin)

/tmp Disk Quota Exceeded But Not
Has anyone ever run into this before? We are running into issues with one of our hosting servers, it claims that the /tmp folder has exceeded the disk quota but when you actually go to the /tmp folder it's not at all. Here are the outputs: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/simfs 60G 2.4G 58G 4% / # df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/simfs 1500000 80589 1419411 6% / # du -hs /tmp 8.2M /tmp # echo 11111111 > /tmp/testfile # cat /tmp/testfile 11111111 But it still gives a PHP error saying /tmp disk quota exceeded until I completely empty the folder and then it works for a few hours and does the same thing.

Can't Update WHM Account Disk Quota
Using cPanel/WHM to administer Accounts. I've been allocated additional disk space by my host, but can't seem to use it -- the existing (original) Account quota won't update. I've tried changing the quota for the existing Package, as well as creating a new package with the desired quota and 'upgrading' the Account to the new Package, but the Account's quota remains the same. It's as tho' the Account quota value is cached somewhere, and isn't getting refreshed.

VPS Disk Quota Status Keeps Increasing Every 2 Days
I have had over 4 different VPS providers and in all of them, I was always using less than 5 gigs and most of it is from the OS and the VPS files, my website is less than 400 megs of size including the backups. For some reasons, my Disk Quota is at 8.3 gigs and it was at 8.2 gigs yesterday. My website's files are not that big and the Database is like 30 megs and the backups are compressed so they are like 4 megs. The problem is that I really don't know what files are making my Disk Quota to go up since I haven't uploaded anything or download files to my VPS.

Removing Large Files Or Folders CentOS
Something weird happening here. I have tried every string possible... There are a number of folders I want to remove off my server, tried the good old and simple... rm -r /folder/ And then went and ended up with a string as long as my screen. No matter what I do, as it goes recursive in to the directory it asks me if I want to remove each file individually. No matter what string or action I take it insists on asking me as it goes to delete each file. Could this be a configuration option in CentOS?

Offsite Backups (via Rsync) - What Files/folders To Backup
I'm currently using (amongst other backup systems) rsync to an offsite space (am using BQBackup at the moment) I'm just wondering - apart from backing up all of /home/, /var/lib/mysql/ and the important config files (httpd.conf, php.conf, etc etc) is there anything else that *needs* to be backed up? Obviously in a worst case scenario, a new machine would be deployed with a fresh OS install (and a fresh WHM/cPanel install) so I wouldn't worry about backing up OS files or cPanel core files, although I'm wondering if there's anything apart from the /home/ directory and the MySQL databases which would be lost (and so need backing up) in the event of a crash?

Daily Backup + Rsync Ssh + Large Number Of Files
i just wana know is it safe to do remote daily backup for about 70,000 files? file sizes is about 200kb and every day i have about 1000 new file, so rsync first should check old files becouse i am deleting about 30-50 of them daily and them backup new 1000 files , so how much it will take every time to compare that 70,000 files? i have 2 option now: 1-using second hdd and raid 1 2-using rsync and backuping to my second server , so i can save about $70 each month.

Disk Image To Disk Partition (Xen)

I can host a diskimage, but I don't like diskimages (slow, and 100GB isn't very 'comfortable' either). Is there any way out there to convert a disk image into a normal partition?

IIS 5.1 - Browsing Folders
Well I finally got around to getting my IIS up and running which will save some time with uploading various files to check that they are working correctly but now I have run into a new problem. What used to happen with my IIS is it would list out all of the folders which I had in the wwwroot and I would simply navigate through and select which site needed to be tested. At the moment, I have cleared out the wwwroot folder entirely since all of the stuff in there was to do with a "Windows XP Professional" page which appeared upon installation. However, now that I don't need it anymore, I decided to clear it out and test IIS out by making a new folder called "sites" into wwwroot. Now though, it simply comes up with a "Directory Listing Denied. This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed." error message, even though I have changed the permissions on the wwwroot folder to allow writing etc. Could this be because it's IIS 5.1 and I need to install IIS 6.0 instead or is something else wrong? I know for a fact that my operating system (Windows Media Center Edition 2005) will do this list as I have had it before, back before I installed Vista and then decided to come back to MCE.

Now there are a couple of folders which are only accessible by one machine at present and all the other machines when they access the folder it is displayed as empty. I have checked all permisions and all machines viewing of files settings are the same and folders accessible by all machines have the same settings as the couple which are only accessible from this one machine. If I copy and paste the folder all machines then have access to the folder from although this would be a lengthy exercise for the full hard drive.

Folders Display Permissions
I would to know how I can change the display permissions for my website sub folders and files from public view, for instants The current is you can access to any folders or files once trying access to any folders in my website like open this link www.yoursite.com/photos/ will see all sub-folders and files in this “photos” folder also you can see the other folders in another level by going to the top level folders! but I think there is a way to enforce my users to write the full path of any selected photo or file they want without browsing my folders and sub-folder.

Mystery Folders Being Created
I am designing a site for a client and in all the years I've done design etc, I've come up against a phenomenon with their VPS server they have. It's linux and uploading files I am using WS_FTP Home. I am uploading files and folders to their public_html/domain.com/ (*I use domain here for their privacy) and in some folders (directories) after doing so, a mystery folder suddenly appears that is named 5" and as you enter that folder, you see the path directory show up "public_html" and if you go into that one, you come up to the domain.com folder again, and if you deeper into that one you start to see this phenomenon of mirroring folders of the one you go into. Example: public_html/domain.com/images/5"/public_html/domain.com/images/file ***the file whether it's an image jpg, png, etc is created as the last directory as a folder, not a file. I should also mention that as you go deeper in the 5" mystery directory folder, you no longer see the path in the FTP anything past the 5" one even as you go further in. Oh, and it doesn't allow you to delete these 5" folders regardless of what permissions. And this folder seems to show up in many areas of this website's directory structure...mostly where images are (don't know if that is just a coincidence). So hope all this makes sense....anyone seen this before and what the cause could be? Their host doesn't seem to know the reason and says they cannot see it even though others can. They said it's the FTP program as the cause and not their server. My comeback to that is that I've used this FTP for years and never before seen this happen. It's only with this one client's server.

SSL Certificates Works For Folders?
Say i have domain zzzzz.com and have some folders say a, b and c would ssl if installed for main domain zzzzz.com work for https://zzzzz.com/a and so on ? or would wildcard ssl be required for that ? And what if that /a folder is actually a subdomain, but since you can access subdomains via url/folder instead of folder.url would ssl work on it using url/folder option instead of subdomain url ?

I've tried to build simple shell wrapper, but that's not a compromise if you run for example spamassassin on the same server (it needs direct io to/from perl binary). I'm looking intro some kind of binary wrapper or patch that will deny running perl scripts from public folders (also the same for shell scripts will be great). Any ideas or solutions? If anyone interested in primitive shell wrapper code: Code: #!/bin/sh ARGS=`echo $@ | grep -v "/tmp/"` if [ "$ARGS" != "" ]; then /usr/bin/perl.orig $ARGS; fi

QUOTA
I've a dedicated with VERY high-end specs 16gb ram SCSI RAID10 SATAII RAID5 CentOS 4.5 x86_64 Kernal 2.6.9-55.ELsmp cPanel However, it has a serious problem, which is with any quota process such as, modifying accounts' quota/creating new account with specific quota(if set to unlimited no problem occurs)/restoring account from a backup file even its a 10mb file when it reaches the quota check section. When any of those happens the load goes Very high 50+ and even can hang the server for sometime if there is a big backup to restore so its quota is big . and the top process that appears at 'top' is quotaon 105% CPU. When I reboot the server and it come back online I can do any quota process with no issues at all for few hours after a reboot then if I do any quota concerning action the problem happens again! The DC said its not a hardware problem while I was suspecting it is!

Zipping Up Multiple Public_html Folders From Shell
OK so I'm on the shell and looking at the contents of my home/ directory which has all the various accounts. In each account directory are subdirs such as mail, logs, tmp, etc, and public_html. Is there a way (or a ZIP command) to be in the home directory and create a massive ZIP file containing all the account directories, each containing ONLY the respective public_html subdir for that account? Using the command "zip -r Backups.zip ./" seems to include all those extra folders (such as mail, etc.) that aren't needed.

Access Folders In Root / Bypass Wordpress

Setup on the server, but if I enter the path in my browser: www . mydomain . com/folder2 wordpress thinks I want to access: www . mydomain . com/wordpress/folder2 ...which doesn't exist. How can I re-gain access to folders in the root, without wordpress interfering?

Apache 1.3 For One Site, Two Cgi-bin Folders

I am guessing something wrong in httpd.conf, may I know how to set apache httpd.conf to meet my requirement?
