Incorrect Disk Usage %

[luckysoft]

After following the dedicated hard drive guide (https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_ded ... Hard_Drive), the console shows the disk usage percentage at 5%. However, according to df, it shows 1%. Additionally, I know there is no way I used up 5% of 3.4T since I only began recording with 1 camera connected. Am I doing something wrong?

I am running ZM on Ubuntu Server 14.04, with the events/images stored in /cctv/zone.

Code: Select all

$ df --total -hl

total                     3.6T  2.7G  3.4T   1% -

My /etc/fstab is:

Code: Select all

What is the exact value of DIR_EVENTS under Options?

[luckysoft]

DIR_EVENTS is left its default value of: events

Am I suppose to change it?

[knight-of-ni]

No, we just wanted to make sure you had not changed it.

Please execute the following from the command line:

Code: Select all

php -r "print disk_free_space('/usr/share/zoneminder/www/events').' '.disk_free_space('/var/cache/zoneminder/events');"

Followed by the output of "df" again since that has probably changed. Leave the "-h" parameter off so we get report in bytes.

I get the following:

Code: Select all

calired@CaliRed-CCTV:~$ php -r "print disk_free_space('/usr/share/zoneminder/www/events').' '.disk_free_space('/var/cache/zoneminder/events');"

EDIT: If I do ((Total - Available) / Total) * 100, I get 5.3054, which would make sense.

Thanks for your time!

Old post but similar problem: Disk usage in ZM shows 0%, df shows 87%, filter works OK and deletes old events keeping stored events as expected.
This is observed on just one machine with RAID0 with 3 * 3TB HDD. Below is the output of some commands:
[root@ruters ~]# df -kh

DIR_EVENTS is left its default value of: events

/etc/fstab contains:
/dev/md0 /DVR ext4 defaults 1 1
/DVR/zoneminder/events /var/lib/zoneminder/events none defaults,bind 0 2
/DVR/zoneminder/images /var/lib/zoneminder/images none defaults,bind 0 2

Screenshot from ZM reporting 0% disk usage:

Capture.JPG (17.2 KiB) Viewed 5894 times

On 3 other Fedora26 installations without RAID0 array the disk usage shows correct. What am I missing on this machine?

[andrewa]

Forgot one more output:

[root@ruters ~]# php -r "print disk_free_space('/usr/share/zoneminder/www/events').' '.disk_free_space('/DVR/zoneminder/events');"
1124912504832 1124912504832[root@ruters ~]#

/var/cache/zoneminder does not exist.

The old thread is about ZM v.1.29, mine is 1.30.4. Hope problem / solution are similar.
