Hard disk 100%
-
HI all
IT seems that my pfsense 2.0 stable hard disk is full, is at 100% in the main page, however I can not find any tool to check the usage of the hard disk.
I use squid and squidguard, and the cache is limited to 4GB.
I have disabled all the logs, but don't know how to erase data, or how to figure out what folder is using more gigabytes.
Please help!

start with
cd /
then do:
du -sh *From there find which has the biggest and go down a level following the directory with the most size.
Most likely squid cache is the culprit. -
Thats right
under /var/squid/cache
This file is using almost 99% of the disk
swap.state
Any idea how to fix that? I think it is the cahce disk or something like that, the very interesting thing is that it started to grow 3 hours ago, when one of the providers went down.
Regards

That's your cache for your Squid proxy.
The brute force method is to shut down Squid and then do something like find /var/squid/cache -type f -exec rm {} ; before starting Squid again.

I did squid -z then I deleted the swap.state
And now is fine, but…. this squid has been rock solid for maybe 3 months already, with only 4Gb of cache disk, then today one of my ISP failed and I moved everything to the backup, as soon i did that, the har disk got full, according to nagios my hard disk ahs been in 9%, but today, today... don't know.

Does the Squid log tell you what happened? How much disk space did it consume?

FYI- This is covered on the doc wiki, and in the squid FAQ.
