Disk space maxed out? - Incorrect!
After completing fresh install of "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64 Bit" w/o any problem and when I am about to get ready installing ISPConfig I took a glance at my resources from the "Dashboard" and noticed that I have used up 98% of my Linode 360 Disk space….
Is this normal? 12GB just for OS.. before I even installed ISPConfig. Or am I reading this all wrong??
Below is the outputs of cat /proc/meminfo.

And this outputs of df -h:

/dev/xvda 12G 724M 11G 7% /
varrun 181M 76K 181M 1% /var/run

udev 181M 12K 181M 1% /dev
devshm 181M 0 181M 0% /dev/shm
I would appreciate if anyone here can shed some light as to what causes this.
Many thanks.

Some people here – including myself -- prefer to have at least two disk images in addition to swap, one for the OS and the other for the data. That way, when you wipe your OS disk and start again, all your data will remain safe. But that's another topic.
Alright then start over I shall.
Cheers.
