Today I got “error, can not write” message on the bottom of my blog. I think its temporary since I often see the message before (with bluehost).

This afternoon I got another message that confirm me if the message is not usual one. The message is sign of storage full. Yes, the blog move to vps and after checking the status :

# df -H
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1       8.4G  7.9G     0 100% /
none            4.1k     0  4.1k   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev            511M  4.1k  511M   1% /dev

none            105M     0  105M   0% /run/user
/dev/vdb1        22G   47M   20G   1% /data
# cd /

My VPS utilize 100% of / partition (I thought soft limit is there) and lead me to error message.

I forgot if this VPS use two drive : /dev/vda1 for operating system and /dev/vdb1 for data storage.

To fix the problem I just need to move content from /dev/vda1 to /dev/vdb1

# mv /srv/users/ /data/
# ln -s /data/users /srv/
# ls -l /srv/

total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 15 14:56 users -> /data/users

Checking current status now :

# df -H
