Disk Space
Q: How
much disk space is used by VAdmin, Perl5 and FrontPage?
A: A fresh, new, virtual private server is setup
with only 900KB of space used for necessary user-owned files. That means on a
Virtual Private Server which currently gets 300 MB of disk space, 299.1 MB is available
to you:
You can check your disk space with the Server Status tab in VAdmin, or Telnet to
your Virtual Private Server and type the diskspace command at the prompt:
% diskspace
A new Virtual Private Server displays the following results:
Limit: 300 MB
Used: 0.9 MB
Free: 299.1 MB
Please note the following:
Vadmin uses no space. Those files are located in an area outside of the user's
directory space.
Perl5 is installed by default on each virtual private server. However, there are 11.5 MB
of perl5 libraries that are not installed by default. If a user decides to
install them with the "vinstall perl5" command, the install will take up 11.5MB
of disk space.
If a user decides to install the FrontPage extensions from Microsoft, they
will take up an additional 11.3 MB.
If Perl5 and FrontPage 98 are installed on a virtual private server, 22.8 MB of disk
space would be used.
Q: How
much disk space have I used?
A: To
see how much space you have used on your server and how much space is still
available, Telnet to your virtual private server and type the following at the command
prompt:
% diskspace
The same summary can be viewed on the default page of the
Virtual Administration Suite.
Note: We does not put a limit on the number of files you can have on your
Virtual Private Server.
Q: How
can I purchase more disk space?
A: To purchase more disk space, please
contact RSH Web Services.
You will need to provide your domain name, email address, and domain name, as
well as the amount of space you would like to purchase.
Q: Where
is the space on my Virtual Private Server being used?
A: To view where space is
being used on your Virtual Private Server, SSH to your Virtual Private Server and type the
following at the command prompt:
% du
A hundred or so lines of output should appear, similar to the
following:
1 ./.netscape/cache
2 ./.netscape
12 ./.Xincludes
9 ./.xfm
3974 ./bin
3170 ./shlib
2 ./etc/replies
11 ./etc/.installed
2 ./etc/webalizer
300 ./etc
67 ./tmp
1 ./ftp/pub
2 ./ftp
1580 ./usr/local/etc/httpd/logs
The numbers that appear in the left column display the size
of each directory, measured in bytes. The du command can help you quickly find
the directories that are using a lot of space.
NOTE: If your SSH client does not allow you to scroll back, you can place the
output in a file. For example, the following command writes the output of the du
command to a file called du.file:
% du > du.file
After you have run the above command, you can view the output
file using the more command:
% more du.file
