AEM 6.1 Diskspace Usage bigger than it should be

[Former Community Member]

Hi everyone,

AEM 6.1. Service Pack 1 installed

We are having diskspace problems on our authoring instance. It uses up to twice as much diskspace as the publish instance. The content of the website should only take up to 3-4 GB, but the repository is way bigger.

We migrated the content to a new instance (with same packages installed) and it uses a third of the diskspace.

We run the offline compact script, every night. We are keeping only 3 versions of modified content (and most of the content have not been modified one single time). 

How can I find out which directory takes up the most diskspace?

Is there a way to launch a command to get the total diskspace used by the folder /content, /etc...?

Cheers,

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

We are also having almost similar problems with our environments. I am also trying to find a query or something which tells how much size content is present in the instance. If am still working on it. If i get it, i will post here. If you find a way please post it here so that it's helpful for everyone and saves sometime for me.

Thanks

you can;t match actual disk space. But gives you an idea where is largest content.
