      hello, my pfsense is using 80GB disk and here is my df

      df -g
      Filesystem  1G-blocks Used Avail Capacity  Mounted on
      /dev/ad0s1a        70  59    5    91%    /
      devfs              0    0    0  100%    /dev
      /dev/md0            0    0    0    2%    /var/run
      devfs              0    0    0  100%    /var/dhcpd/dev

      i have uninstalled squid and lightsquid and detele the directory squid and light squid under /var but why hdd space just came down to 91%.
      what I want to know what other services are taking up my disk space?

      thanks in advance
      ???

                      A common issue on *nix boxes.  If a file is open, but deleted, then du will not find it, but df will (correctly) report the space it is using.  Until the file is closed the space isn't freed up.
