Fix "No space left on device" when the disk isn't full (inodes)
Linux says no space left on device but df -h shows free space? Use df -i to confirm inode exhaustion, find the folder with millions of files and clean it up safely.
Free disk space with docker system prune
Find out how much space Docker uses with docker system df, then safely prune unused images, build cache, stopped containers and volumes, and schedule a cleanup that never touches your data.
Free up disk space on a Linux VPS
Find what is using space, then safely clear package caches, systemd journal logs, old Docker data and large log files without breaking running services.
Free up disk space used by WordPress
Find out what fills your hosting disk and clean it safely: old backups, cache and log files, unused media and image sizes, staging copies and email in the same account.
How much storage does a VPS need?
Estimate disk space for the operating system, apps, databases, logs and backups on Linux and Windows, and learn how much headroom to leave so the disk never fills up.
How to check database and table sizes in MySQL and MariaDB
Find out how much space each MySQL or MariaDB database and table uses, spot the biggest tables, and compare the numbers with real disk use on your VPS.
How to edit reseller limits and privileges in WHMReseller
Change a reseller's account count, disk space, bandwidth, overselling and WHM privileges in WHMReseller, and see how much of your allocation is left.
How to monitor disk, bandwidth and resource usage as a WHM reseller
Track disk space, bandwidth, over-quota accounts and CloudLinux CPU and memory usage for all your customers from WHM, and act before limits cause downtime.
Move Docker data root to another disk or path
Move Docker's data from /var/lib/docker to a bigger disk. Stop the daemon, copy the data, set data-root in daemon.json, handle the containerd image store and verify images and volumes survived.
Reseller account limits and overselling in WHM explained
How disk, bandwidth and account limits work on a WHM reseller plan, what overselling means, and how to plan packages so you never run out of allocation.
View and rotate Docker container logs
Read, follow and filter Docker container logs, then set log rotation with max-size and max-file so container logs never fill your VPS disk again.
