100% Disk space on OpenVZ

[SamTzu]

I did something stupid. (Ones again )
I deleted a big file within OpenVZ client straight from the Proxmox host.
Now the Disk Space keeps showing 100% Disk Usage even though there is no sign of the two 16Gb files I deleted inside the Client.

Any clues how to update the Disk Space data on the Host?

Here is what the client shows...
server:/var/www/testi1.mattila.local/web# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 50G 33G 18G 65% /
tmpfs 1.3G 0 1.3G 0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 1.3G 0 1.3G 0% /dev/shm
server:/var/www/testi1.mattila.local/web# df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 10000000 27202 9972798 1% /
tmpfs 323072 4 323068 1% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 323072 1 323071 1% /dev/shm

Attach an empty disk, and copy everything to that new disk. Then use that new (smaller) disk instead of the old one.

EDIT: Oh, sorry - that is for KVM - ignore that.

What kernel version do you use?

I guess you need to restart the VM (to get quota fixed).

I restarted the OpenVZ client but it did not change the Disk Space on Proxmox.
Do I need to restart Proxmox?

 

[dietmar]

maybe you need to re-init the quota system:

# vzctl stop <vmid>
# vzquota drop <vmid>
# vzctl start <vmid>

Does that help?

I didn't have time to try. The log files ballooned again and I now could remove them properly from the client. And suddenly the Proxmox Disk Space was showing correctly again.

I had the same problem in Proxmox 3.2-4 (I manually deleted some files from the private folder on the host) and running the following commands fixed the problem (thanks dietmar):
# vzctl stop <vmid>
# vzquota drop <vmid>
# vzctl start <vmid>
