Disk Usage Keeps on Increasing

    Hi

    I added Mod Pagespeed to my site and I can see that this is enabled and appearing when checking with phpinfo.

    I didn't notice anything before but I also did a large wget transfer for my entire site that took a few hours.

    Today when I run the command "df -h" I can see that the webspace is being decreased every few minutes by a few hundred MB... When it reaches about 72GB it resets it self and starts all over again. Any way to check what is being written to the disk? I think it could be something to do with the cache's as within the website's folders I cannot see an increase / change in web space.

    you can use:
    du -cxha / | sort -rn | less
    Code (markup):
    or `ncdu` (ncruses version) to calculate/investigate your disk space usage in specific directories so you can track down what exactly is filing up your disk space.
