I've been doing this blogging thing for a little over two years now, and I recently needed to upgrade my server space to 50mb (thanks, Small Packages!). But it suddenly occurred to me that back in 1980 I was responsible for a club accounting system on an IBM mini-computer (S/34) with 5,000 membership records and about 27,000 sales transactions per month, plus payroll, accounts payable, and general ledger, using a 13.2mb disk. After a year of whining, I was finally able to get approval to double the disk space to 27mb (at a cost of $5,000 for the additional 13.2mb drive). So here I am, needing more capacity than I ever did running a business. Hmm. Where's the bloat, man?
Posted by Linkmeister at January 10, 2004 01:12 PMHave you checked out the new cpanel features? One of those is the ability to see your disk usage. Look to the right side/third column of the cpanel homepage, 2nd block, under "site management". At the bottom of that blocked list, you'll see a link to "Disk Usage Viewer". It takes you to a outline tree of your main directories and shows you how much space is used by each. You can even break the tree down to show subdirectories.
