Permission Denied Logged in as ROOT?

edited June 2012 in General

Im logged in ROOT using SFTP.

I ran this command to try to find any dirty files..

find / -size +50000k -exec du -hs {} \; (Thanks to PHXADAM @ IPXCORE.COM for function)

And I found some dirties in here:

/proc/vz/vzaquota/000000d8

2 Files named aquota.group and aquota.user, both over 135MB's in size.

My question is for you Smartys, how do I delete these when they say permission denied? Also, How can I disable logging of such quota?

Thank you

    You can't delete vzquota's (unless you disable it on the node, but then it does not calculate your usage).

    I hate them too, I really despise them.

    Oh okay, well they are not going to shut it off just for me! lol ;) Okay, well Thanks Daniel I still got other filesizes somewhere lurking in FTP i need to find, Somehow I am at 700MB when my forum software is only 4MB in size (including images)..... - the 300MB from quota, I still need to find the other 350MB somewhere hehe.

    thanks for the quick response

  • What OpenVZ version are you on? "uname -a"

    VZQuota's in the .32 kernel's can really mess up.

    Linux speakwhatsreal 2.6.32-274.7.1.el5.028stab095.1 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 20:49:24 MSD 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

    32 cent os -_-, I tried debian on 64bit a couple months ago before releasing my site, but couldn't get APC to work with PHP. (Probably faults by me as I am a linux noobie) but I got it work on cent OS, and I know cent os is not the "best" but for me, my site runs extremely good with any linux OS as compared to windows though.. so I don't really care atm.

    I pm'd the thread to some IPXCore representatives to see what's up. Do you recommend them disabling the quota then?

    (I probably have no idea what I am talking about, but bare with me please)

    No. Disabling it breaks all sorts's of software. Just live with the files I guess, use du to work out whats using your space.

    Weirdly, the /proc/vz/vzaquota should be appearing as basically 0 in size. I dont even think OpenVZ allows you to even access them.

    After a representative saw this thread, I just got my Disk Space upgraded.. I guess it's not a big deal.. I just love logging into SOLUS VM and see all TINY green numbers. I Just always got confused as why my disk space was so much when my site is only 6mb big! I guess I know now!

    Thanks Daniel for the help, love the quick responses :P I can live with those damn quotas, I just hope they don't get any bigger -.-

    Weird thing is, it shouldn't be counting them in the first place. At least thats what happens on all my OpenVZ servers.
