Hi everyone,

As a relatively new Server Admin I've become a bit confused by some statistics Parallels Plesk Panel 10.0.1 is returning to me.

I have a domain ('subscription') set up, mysite.com.

  • Mysite.com only hosts files, mostly images
  • Its file contents use up about 390MB of disk space

Here's a screenshot: this is what Plesk is reporting mysite.com to use:

disk usage

And some more info:

more disk usage

Now this is pretty confusing... I thought at first my site might have been hacked and had contents written to disk, but I checked and all is in order, nothing has been hacked into as far as I can tell.

So I had a look in the site's CP for some more in-depth statistics, and this is what's returned...

Now - sod's law - when I go to check my disk space statistics in more depth via the control panel, this morning it says "The data were not collected yet." - not too sure what that means, but, last night when I checked it was reporting something odd. It said Files were using up 390MB, but 1.80GB or so were being used up by 'Mail Accounts'. This is really strange, as there are no mail accounts set up for the domain.

The only hint of 'mail' there is, is the catchall set up to forward *@mysite.com to a separate, ISP-hosted email account.

Any ideas anybody? I can post more details if you need it. Sorry to be a bit vague but I'm not sure what else I can post.

Thanks,

Jack
