General point. Is the space shown for web files only? I suspect it
might be showing the spaced used for *everything* in your user directory
on the server, which would include log files and a whole host of other
stuff.

Perhaps you need to add DB space into that? I know on my hosting package
DB space is not listed in the control panel disk space manager, but it
is counted as part of the overall space allocation on the shared server.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Would it be that way in the WHM too? each account listed is not even
using its quota when I check it in WHM.

This is making no sense to me... *bangs head*

Yes sorry database No it doesn't really make sense anyway. My host
has a weird custom no-name control panel thing, so perhaps it's just a
quirk on our box.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

My first thought would be that somewhere you allocated 2000Meg by
accident, and because that's the amount you have available, I'd say
you filled in 2000 somewhere, thinking the 'question' was "what's the
total of your available space", but really it was "how much are you
allocating to this account" or something?

Can't find any such place in my own WHM account though...

I think I see what the problem is but will have to talk to someone else
before I mess with it and they are not up yet...

The main account which is the reseller shows 2000 meg
The accounts which are underneath it, or created from that reseller are each
showing the package quotas
17X60mb and 1X200mb

However something is not being done right somewhere because it is giving the
main reseller domain all 2000mb
and not leaving any left over for added accounts.

That would explain why it says 3220 is being allocated when in reality only
1220 is allocated and that is also why it shows
-1220 over because the 1220 is the accounts placed by the main reseller.

gah this is too confusing. i am going to go bed and will fix this later when
I can talk to my more technically inclined friend LOL.

Thanks for the help Els. :0)

No that isn't what is going on. I should have 2000meg to allocate
to unlimited domains... I have only added 18 domains aside from the main
domain which is the reseller account.

There is no way in hell the main reseller domain is using up 2000meg.
The WHM is not tallying things correctly and I have to figure out why.

Point of fact the main reseller domain is only using 95 meg

so added to the 1220 allocated to the 18 other domains only makes it
1315 meg which is still under the 2000meg that is possible.

This is annoying but something is screwed up somewhere. It wasn't like this
in January 05 or
December and November 04.

this started in February. I traced it back. So something got messed up in
February. I just need to find out what
because the main reseller account is no longer 'sharing' with the sub
accounts. It is keeping all 2000 meg for
itself

Crikey, 'only' 95MB? What's in it?

my own sites

LOL helping out a friend by giving him some online storage for a little
while. :0)

Otherwise would only be about 15mb used on the main account. *grin*

The problem is fixed now. What happened was my main domain/reseller account
was made in the WHM
as a package but when this happened that domain was taking all 2000 meg of
space and not sharing with
the domains under it.

a little tweaking and it is all good now and I have plenty of room left so I
won't have to rush to upgrade :0)

Resource Max Allowed Allocated Remaining
Disk Space 2000 Meg 1045 955
Bandwidth 20000 Meg 15805 4195
