The notice for this change was in our release notes for 11.25 which can be found at<a href=\" http:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/twiki\/pub\/AllDocumentation\/ReleaseNotes\/1125releasenotes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> http:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/twiki\/pub\/AllDocumentation\/ReleaseNotes\/1125releasenotes.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The changes which were made, are in regarding to the bandwidth graph RRD files which are split off for each individual service per domain and subdomain and stored in \/var\/cpanel\/bandwidth\/ .<\/p>\n<p>The potential issue is this: On some machines, depending on the partitioning schema and the number of domains on a server, there may be a disk space issue. This will only effect customers with large numbers of domains and a relatively small \/var\/ partition, i.e., 8-10G. In these situations, the \/var\/ partition may become full.<\/p>\n<p>The workaround for the time being, if you are affected by this issue, is that cpanel has suggesting running the following commands:<\/p>\n<p>To disable the Bandwidth Stats Generation run:<\/p>\n<p><code> touch \/etc\/rrdtooldisable <\/code><\/p>\n<p>This will disable generation of the rrdfiles altogether. Removing this file will result in the graphs being generated again or Symlinking \/var\/cpanel\/bandwidth to a partition with more space.<\/p>\n<p>The below command will create a \/home\/bwtemp directory, copy the contents of \/var\/cpanel\/bandwidth to it, create a backup in \/root\/cp- bandwidth-backup.tar.gz, and then symlink the old directory to the new one where there should be more diskspace.<\/p>\n<p><code> mkdir \/home\/bwtmp; tar -czvf \/root\/cp-bandwidth-backup.tar.gz \/var\/ cpanel\/bandwidth ; mv \/var\/cpanel\/bandwidth\/* \/home\/bwtmp\/; rm -rf \/var\/cpanel\/bandwidth ; ln -s \/home\/bwtmp \/var\/cpanel\/bandwidth<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In cPanel 11.25 they have made a few feature improvements to the bandwidth tracking system built into WHM and cPanel.
