I am getting these emails everyday. Two of them in fact, one after another.
------
Drive Warning: /dev/sda8 (/home) is 82% full
-----
Tried disabling notifications in Tweak Settings to no avail. 
That apparently only affects end users.
I'm getting these emails for root.
Any way to disable it as it is annoying to receive them daily.
first time I discovered the issue and I am not happy about it at all.
I was moving three of my largest sites over to a new server after performing a full cPanel backup of them completly and then FTP'ed the backups over and restored them in WHM on a new server; however, NONE of the MySQL data was saved. Now at this point I was not really worried because I knew I had weekly and daily backups so at most I was going to lose 1 month of SQL.
come to find out, NONE of the weekly or daily backups had the SQL eaither despite the fact that they are instructed to backup everyting. This leaves me with only three month old backups for these huge websites that are getting 2million+ hits a day.
Basically, I'm done.
I relied on cPanel/WHM to perform full backups which it did not. I followed all the procedures about having backups offi site and whatnot, but NONE of them have the SQL.
I am very upset, perturbed, and disappointed with the new cPanel/WHM and never should have upgraded.
I suggest anyone using it to do your own backups and do not rely on cPanel/WHM despite how tempting it may be.
my one mistake was to delete the websites off the server before they were fully restored (just so I would not have to turn off DNS clustering and whatnot). I should have checked if they were up working on the server before I deleted them off the old one. (Although I kept all the backups so I figured that would be enough).
1- i did Os Reload with new Hard drive for "home"
2- data "backups" drive lost
 
3- replaced the old home drive as "/old drive"
 
4- "  /old drive  " is now the secondry drive in my server and it has the all sites usres and evry thing 
 
5- what i need , to trasfer, copy this sites from "  /old drive  " to "home"
 
but data center said 
 
The /olddrive/home directory contains the contents that were previously in the /home directory. You can copy files from this directory to any other directory on your server. 
The command to copy files in the UNIX environment is the "cp" command.
The user directories in /olddrive/home directory contain the web page files for the users. However, simply copying the contents over will not recreate the users or domain entries in DNS/httpd. If you wish these back you will need to recreate them manually or restore them from backups.
I getting error from cpanel now about possible hard drive failure.First it was only secondary disk,so i send request to support to ask them why is that happening and they said it is just temperature warning,but they still checked disk.Testing took 3 hours,and support said everything is ok.
But now i start to receive again that message,and now not just secondary disk,also primary disk.So what should i do,should i just ignore that error considering now is summer and it's hot or contact support again?I am in that dilema beacuse if support will test disk that require offline testing and means server will be down again,and now even longer beacuse of both disk warning,and again if they realy fail then i will lost all data and experience much longer downtime.
Here is message which i getting: ...
i am continously getting warning mail form cpanel cpu watch that my cpu got overloaded as like follows,
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
This is cPanel cpuwatch on xxx.com!
While processing, the cpu has been
maxed out for more than a 6 hour period. The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of
this email is
19:05:10 up 143 days, 20:38, 0 users, load average: 1.11, 0.69, 0.63
You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take
steps to lower the load. If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit
/var/cpanel/cpanel.config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run
/usr/local/cpanel/startup afterwards to pickup the changes).
I searched on load average and found that average load for 1 cpu is 2 and default value is 5 to 10.but here i am getting mail for 1.11 itself.I changed the value of threshold of load average in stat and logs of tweak setting to 4.but no improvement.now also i am getting more than 4 mails for average load i.e 1.23 also
My questions are:
1)what is the criteria cpanel is checking for sending cpu-watch warning mail?
2)i am getting nothing more than rsync and exim at the time of overload(while using TOP command).So why now only i am getting warning mail?
what is the cause of this problem?
I was getting idea from internet to create account without stat/ log analyse function .But not sure how will it work and afraid of doing this.......
How do I stop the common cpanel/whm "domain mismatch" security warning popup for good WITHOUT the need to install a server hostname certificate and access through that.
Is there a way to save the cert in the browser? I could not find that option and I am using Firefox 2.
Primary drive (centos/cpanel) is corrupt
The server is displaying these errors when I tried to do an FSCK:
Bad inode IO
ext3-fs error (device(8,3)) IO Failure
I am having a new primary installed and old primary set as 2nd drive.  I need to recover the cpanel domain accounts from this 2nd drive after I mount it with the method below:
mkdir /backup
mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
However, how do I actually recover these accounts in an automated process via whm? I've done this before with the same matter (corrupt primary drive, mount as 2nd, etc) but cannot exactly remember the proper steps.
I just purchased a brand new 10K 150GB drive. How can I take an exact copy of my current drive and transfer everything over to the new drive? I think I need to create a snapshop, or mirror it somehow.
 
What software will do this? I was told trueimage, but its very pricy, is there anything else?
I have a dedicated box and I started getting Input/output errors today.
I tried:
# fsck
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
then I tried:
# fsck -a -t ext3 /dev/hda2
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
My data is backed up, so was going to ask for a reimage, but is this an indication of bad hardware? Should I ask for a replacement drive? Is there anything else I should try on my own before going to the host?
After adding a second drive mounted as /home2 for backups I attempted to use the cPanel "Configure Backup" and I get the following message.
Quotas cannot be built! 
Your cpbackup destination is on a filesystem which has quotas enabled.  
Please move it to a filesystem which does not have quotas turned on 
or a separate partition/disk slice mounted at /backup.Backup has been 
disabled to prevent quota problems...
All searches on how to resolve this really reveal no solutions. 
I did a google search on "disable filesystem quota" among others and could
find nothing.
i have a deicated server with 2 drives the first is 80% i want to generate cpanel backup files but for them to be created to the 2nd drive 10% full so then i can get them off the server and upload to the new, does anyone know how to do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have incremental backups running in our server. We want to move the cPanel accounts to a new cPanel server and restore in that server. The Backup Restore option in WHM will recognize only compressed backups (like .tar.gz) when it is placed in the /home directory. So how do I do about restoring a incremental backup through the WHM of the new server?
