        What version of pfSense (not the latest but the actual version number)?

        What packages do you have installed?  Does the problem go away if you reboot?

            It's been mentioned here before.  With unix you can delete a file that's open.  If you do that then while the file no longer appears in any directory listings, and isn't counted by "du", it still occupies disk space until the file is closed (at which point it is deleted).  There can be a problem with log files for certain applications when the log file is rotated but the application continues writing to it.  Eventually you run out of disk space, while not being able to tell why ;)

            If you can identify the offending application a restart of that app will solve the problem.  In your case it was probably squid.
