Thanks Darik,

I don't have control over virtualisation, only the VPS. Is this
something that i can do or do I need to contact my host?

address@hidden [~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vzfs              20G   12G  9.0G  56% /
simfs                  20G   12G  9.0G  56% /tmp
simfs                  20G   12G  9.0G  56% /var/tmp
