Confused about the domain space
Ok I have a folder on my computer with all the files on it I have on my domain. On the domain disk usage part it tells me that it is using 98mbs which is 48 above what I can take. And well I do not have 1 single file on my domain that is more than 1 mb I have millions of files but most of them are really just 1kb. So I am really confused why it says I am using 98mbs. I cannot possibly be using that much.

Hmmmm, millions of little files less than 1k...
I did some checking, and it appears that most of your file size differs from what you believe... The largest directory is Forum1, and the HTML directory is consuming 20Mb alone... A quick script that I whipped up to calculate your file sizes in the HTML directory: Code Sample:
The result being: size:20016395 num:710 avg:28192.1 So your average file size is around 28k, with a little less than a thousand files in that directory... >FAQ< One more item to mention on disk space calculations... In reality, you are paying for Hard Drive "Real Estate" that is different from the actual "perceived" file size... For example, let's say that 'file.txt' is 430bytes in size - but the actual storage space on the drive is based on blocks (or clusters in the DOS world)... It takes 4Kb of hard drive space to save that 430byte file, as a block is the smallest unit of storage the filesystem works with... The remaining 3666bytes goes to 'slack space'... Nevertheless, always round up your file sizes to the next 4K to receive back the 'real' disk usage... >/FAQ< file.txt 4096:filesystem block size 430 :þerceived 'file.txt' size 4096:actual filesystem storage for 'file.txt' 3666:slack space for 'file.txt' If file2.txt is 4097bytes in size, then it's storage space is 8092bytes - and so on... I have done what I can to find the most optimal block size that offers both best of value to the site owner and high performance filesystem interactions for the server... -- Terra --We have zero tolerance for hidden costs hidden behind complex contracts-- FutureQuest |

Paul, good call - that was exactly the premise behind my last tagline...
<RANT MODE ON> Those 'disreputable' hosts on the internet make our pre-sales email box look like a war zone, with many of them being burned by others and they are going the extra *cough*100*cough* miles to make sure it doesn't happen again... Gaining trust is the most difficult aspect of the hosting industry, and those that continue to defraud customers only make the honest hosts life more difficult: e.g. (small list) 1) Unlimited Bandwidth 2) Unlimited Diskspace or 500Mb disk space *do the math on number 2 with say 18Gb drives 3) Unlimited POP accounts Ok - "Unlimited everything" is such a buzzword that I'm shocked that people still fall for it... Our competition offers everything under the sun - and being the designer of FutureQuest servers, I honestly don't see how they can offer a whole laundry list of capabilities when I know for fact they don't have the staff to design/build/administrate/maintain those offered services... Our competion that does this are the ones packing in customers like sardines hoping (praying) for that big buyout in the end from the evolutionary "Big Fish consolidating Small Fish" life cycle... </RANT MODE OFF> -- Terra --Can you tell we are in for the long haul by offering only what is realistic-- FutureQuest |
No big deal, but the CNC still says:
"Files use disk space in increments of one block. In Linux, one block is equal to one kilobyte, or 1,024 bytes, of disk space. This means that a file that is 1 byte uses the same space as a file that is 1,024 bytes, because both files require one block of space." This seems misleading since on all the new servers at least, a block = 4 kb not 1 kb... |
You are correct as the CNC does not take into account the 5th Gen servers and up which uses the ReiserFS system...
The older servers used 1Kb blocksize, but after being placed into real world usage I found that 1Kb blocks had a negative impact on overall performance... I will place the CNC adjustments on my ToDo list and roll it out with the next maintenance release... Thank you for pointing that out... -- Terra --Some things were never meant to be hardcoded-- FutureQuest |
The CNC has been updated to reflect this fact concerning disk usage blocksizes...

re: www.pagecreators.net
LOL - this site now has a very "simple" web page consisting of a single dot (.) I'm sure this lad found it very hard to stay in business once his merchant bank began debiting his checking account for all those thousands of dollars in chargebacks and cancelled his account. Although I feel sorry for all the customers of this shady firm because of the extreme stress and inconvenience they were put through, they will get their money back via the chargeback process. I'll also bet that the merchant bank will never stop hounding this guy (and his parents) until they get their money back. Rich -- rule #1: banks always win in the end |
Interesting, mmm. Say ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm uhu
1) how do I upgrade my web host to get more space. 2) does Futurequest supply unlimited space? I know that there are alot of really cheap web hosts but well they are all ass to some extend. I just love futurequest, always prooven to be phat :). Thanx for the help. ------------------ I'm ghost... |
Hod up, why the **** do you guys censor the word d-a-m-n and not the word ass? I don't quite get the logic behind that. Do you censor h-e-l-l or g-o-d?
hell god mmm, :) sorry I just be a little un-sober at times. ------------------ I'm ghost... |
