Free Space Issue

Hi!

I have a VPS which recently got moved by netcup.

Since then, I have issues with "free space".

In total, I have 160 GB.

25 GB is used by OS & apps.

And system claims to have 130 GB free space.

I am downloading a 90 GB file for editing. That should leave approx 40 GB as free space ...

However, after downloading not even 80% the disk is full and I cannot finish the download.

I then have to delete the downloaded file. And the system claims still 60 GB being used. Notice that it did not go down back to the original 25 GB.

Once I reboot the VPS, the original 25 GB of used disk space is shown again.

This behavior is reproducible. I triggered a media storage optimization. But same behavior ...

Any clues what is going on?

P.S.: I do not want to download the file to my local system and edit it here as I have to sent it away afterwards. and with 50 Mbits up it is no fun ... (Hence the VPS with a sym. 2.5 Gbits)

Zitat

There is "optimize disk" button in the VCP Backend.

That is correct and I did an "optimize disk" before writing this topic ...

It did not help / address this issue ...

KB19: just started downloading again will provide df -h & dh -hi once disk is full again.

Paul: it is a download manager and it just says "disk full"

Will provide another screen shoot with message ...

... and the disk is full again ...

plenty of free space left, even when download is completed ...

hmm ... I downloaded 78.4 GB - 45.1 GB = 33.3 GB, but it occupies 131.6 GB - 67.6 GB = 63.9 GB disk space ...

I misread the inodes info (and since I cannot delete a previous reply, I modified it to this )

I just deleted the partially deleted file and this is what I have now:

It is right now 57% full ...

I wonder where the "extra" is coming from.

And a du -h -d 1 does not conclude ... it gets stuck here:

❯ sudo du -h -d 1

72K ./tmp

45M ./srv

94M ./boot

16K ./lost+found

412K ./dev

Currently, I can only "remove" the extra unknown disk usage with a reboot ...

Was ist denn hier die offizielle Sprache?

Den Snapshot hatte ich gelöscht für „disk optimization“. Ich habe ihn aber vorher per ftp gesichert …
