Strange filesize

Post by alexebner »

I have a fresh install of Zimbra 8.0.2 on ubuntu 12.04.1

From this time i am wondering why my backup space i growing so much.
Now i have found the issue.

The file "/opt/zimbra/data/ldap/mdb/db/data.mdb" have a size from 80GB!



524K -rw------- 1 zimbra zimbra 80G Jän 21 09:20 /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/mdb/db/data.mdb


The strange thing is my data partition is only 50GB !


/dev/xvda3 50G 4,2G 44G 9% /opt/zimbra


I have done a filesystemcheck and there are no problems.
How does this work and how can i fix them ?

[quote user="alexebner"]The strange thing is my data partition is only 50GB ![/QUOTE]There's northing strange about it, file file you mention it is a sparse allocated filed and does not actually occupy 85GB. Search the forums for details and the solution, this has been discussed several times.
