I have had another spike in disk usage on our Gallery 2 server. Twice now it has been run down to less than 100MB of available storage. I am looking for a tool/technique to find out where all of the space is being used (something similar to JDiskReport would be great).

Is there a tool in Gallery to show a breakdown of disk use by user, album, etc...?

Thank you.

Nothing within Gallery. What is the operating system the server where Gallery is installed at?

It is Fedora (linux). Pretty standard install (with XAMP added).

Any suggestions to help automate disk usage by album/user would be great.

as well as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_(Unix)

du -k | sort -n

If you're logged into an SSH session, and sitting in your g2data/albums directory that'll display the disk usage of each directory in kilobytes (3,336,500 KB = 3.2GB) and sort it from smallest to largest

Thank you both very much.

The du command worked out well enough for me to look at some directory sizes. I think there was a cache that had become "stuck" in that special /gallery2/lib/support/ area. I cleaned those out and it appears to be running normal again. I am keeping a close eye on it to make sure it does not unexpectedly grow so large again.
