Have you checked the logs directory? I believe the default log rotation size
is 10% of the site quota. There is the web log, the mail log, the ftp log...
that could account for 3GB right there.
I have also seen bayes files get out of control if you have a spamassasin
package installed, but never into the GB range.
If you have imported sites, or extracted large tar files, I've run into
uid/gid collisions on file ownerships that have led to odd and often
disturbing over quota situations.
One way to discover this is to use the find command. Please check for the
exact syntax, but something like:
find /home -user foo >user_files.txt
find /home -group sitenn >group_files.txt
Then look for files that may be outside the site's root listed in either of
the saved files.
Oh yes, you might look in the logs folder because owner/group may be
mis-set. Or different.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
-Stephanie
