Where does the disk space go?
Posted by Jason on Saturday February 24, 2007 10:16 AM  |  Permalink  |  Comments (0)

Today I went to my Dreamhost control panel & it showed that I was using 1% of my 461.8GB of disk space. 1%? I've never noticed it that high before. On closer inspection that's 4.9 gig!? The last time I checked it was less than 1/2 gig.

Digging around shows that the DB used for my wiki was taking 4 GB.

My Wiki? I have a wiki?

Ohh, now I remember.
Over a year (or two?) ago I installed a wiki on this site because - well, it was easy enough to. Dreamhost has a bunch of one-click installs & all I had to do was click a button. I played around with the wiki and figured out how things worked - and then ignored it.

While I was busy with our new baby Seamus and work, automated spam bots filled my little test wiki with 4 gigs of junk!

I'm now going to go lock the wiki and find out what exactly is in there. I'll be impressed if it's all text. That's a lot of spam bot activity!

UPDATE
All Main Pages on the wiki

It's an odd assortment to say the least
