Confluence running on Unix was throwing errors about running out of local disk space. With 100GB of space free this should not be possible. A df -h
showed that 98% of disk space was being used with less than 50MB free. A du -h /opt/wiki/ | grep G
reported that the wiki was using 31G in total.
With df
showing that there was very disk space free and du
showing that the Confluence java application was using a percentage of the disk space it was obvious that the JVM was allocating files and not releasing them.
