OVH's Brilliant File Partitioning...

What the actual hell? This has 2x 120GB Drives inside, and one seems flooded with /var/named/chroot/* crap.
I never put them there and allowed default partitioning of the drive upon the OS installation, anybody have any cautioned words before reallocating?

Wait, does this mean that various bind files use 7gb disk space?
Anyway did you try reinstalling with another image than the default one?
@gsrdgrdghd
I'm confused by this now.
And yeah, it looks that way, maybe an old Disk not formatted? Its the same I have for an identical server with a normal layout.
Also,
This suggests It's 'RAID'? I can't remember enabling a Raid array on this machine, and it's only Soft raid if anything, Mdadm reports empty.
I've already got software on this node, and It'd be a real shame to have to reinstall it.
That is what it looks to me. That is one screwy way to do things if it turns out to be done that way. That image must specifically designed for that type of box only or something because it would not work otherwise. Doesn't make any sense to me but then again I did not make it either.
Relax. The /var/named/chroot filesystems are not real, it is just a fake (bind) mount of the / filesystem.
It is not taking up any of your space.
The /dev 16GB is not real either - it is RAM.
@Rds100
Yeah, I've looked at it, nuked bind and now working on trying to 'unraid' this device.
I asssume the OVH Web-Panel is the easiest way to do this?
Yeah, it looks like it's partitioned as 10G root partition + the rest as /home as two Linux mdadm RAID-1 arrays (as far as I know, that's the standard OVH config).
Reinstall it from the manager, making sure to use the advanced settings or whatever it's called, to change the RAID and partitioning settings.
you realize you can mount an iso in kvm and do a regular install yourself, right?
