Hi, I have a droplet, and I was turning crazy looking for disk usage, I tried with:
du -d 5
and many other commands… and I didn´t find anything.
The message:
# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1 20511356 19447420 0 100% /
But only rebooting system:
~$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1 20511356 2884808 16561592 15% /
Anyone knows what it happens?
I feel is like an issue with digitalocean droplet but I don´t find any explanation.
Regards

If this occurs again I would recommend first checking your /tmp folder. If something is writing a large amount of data there it could use up your disk but since /tmp is usually cleared on boot this could account for the used space dropping so dramatically after a reboot.
If you don’t find anything there I would recommend opening a ticket with our support team so they can investigate further.
