      There is no problem.  See the FreeBSD newfs man page for details on space reserved from normal users, which is by default 8%.  This is the cause of the figures you're seeing having almost filled your root partition (you've got about 6 MB left).

          Your root partition is only 1.5 GB?  That's fine with no packages, but I'd imagine squid will fill that up pretty quickly. It seems it goes away when you uninstall squid, so I think the problem is you don't have enough drive space to run squid.

            I use 2GB hard drive …
            configured squid for use only 100MB of cache ...

            in two others sites, i use the same config, same version, same hardware ... without this problem ... and i had never use more than 45/50% space on my hard drive.

              Next time it happens, run the following commands from a shell and paste the output here.

              df -h
              cd / && du -hd1

                  I don't know if it's unusual or not (I only have my own host to compare with), but your /usr/local/www/usr is 106 MB, mine is closer to 200 KB.  Your /sbin is also about twice the size of mine (1.2 Beta2).

                  As a reference, I have Squid, FreeRadius, IMspector, NUT, PFFlowed, Snort and LightSquid all installed with 438 MB of disk space in use.  Squid is set to use 128 MB of disk (and memory) for cache.

                    This morning, i perform a succefull test with MAxtor utilities, this evening … the same test return errors ... !

                    I think hard drive is death ... but Pfsense can always boot and be used but some service aren't fully fonctionnal such as DHCP server ...

                    After reinstall with new HDD ... all is OK, i will compare directory size's for see.

                      400+ MB in your /tmp is odd. What's in there?  Should be more like a few KB.

                      having a /usr/local/www/usr folder is also strange, I'm guessing the squid package must have put that there as that shouldn't be there.

                          Your /var is 17 GB.  Now repeat the du command inside /var.
