Hi, we got a problem with diskfull in a raid1 installation.
We can’t access to GUI, but we delete 100 Gb from samba folders via WINSCP, anyway disk is still full, try to reboot but nothings append.
Any idea ?
login as root via ssh and start diagnose the issue
I tried also to delete some files via ssh, but disk start to decrease used space only after 2 hours.
first of all, check why and where your space is ended…
check if some deleted files are still in use (and so space is not freed) with
lsof | grep deleted
finally, be sure you are not using Trash bin

I would say SSH into the box and list the current open files with their sizes and refresh the list on a periodic basis.
This will give you list of the files (and folders) which are increasing in size beyond a reasonable rate.
This will give you a good starting point to see if a user is at fault or if its a log file getting out of hand due to too much logging for whatever reason or something more sinister or under-handed

Once you have accessed the GUI you can use Disk Usage to get where the big (or many) files are coming from

Hi,
I have had the same situation. Deleting emails space was made available late. In my case the cancellation began after closing thunderbird
You can try to give the command shell
cd /
du- sm *
The command displays the size (MB) of each folder. The command can be executed within a folder.
If you run it before and after the cancellation you should see the drive capacity decrease.
