      Hi guys
      I was searching forum for help with no luck,
      I have 100% of disk usage, and network performance become really poor…
      is there way to manually "clean" disk?

      It seems that squid cache eat all disk space.
      I have 2HDD 320gb in raid (640gb total) and cache is set to 500gb
      4gb ram with 8gb swap

      $ df -h
      Filesystem    Size    Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
      /dev/ar0s1a    570G    524G      0B  100%    /
      devfs          1.0K    1.0K      0B  100%    /dev
      /dev/md0      3.6M    34K    3.3M    1%    /var/run
      devfs          1.0K    1.0K      0B  100%    /var/dhcpd/dev

      thanks

            rm -r /var/squid/cache/*
            

            after that:

            squid -z

              thanks
              did that and after 3 hours :)
              result is:
              disk usage 86%

              and
              $ df -h
              Filesystem    Size    Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
              /dev/ar0s1a    570G    451G    73G    86%    /
              devfs          1.0K    1.0K      0B  100%    /dev
              /dev/md0      3.6M    34K    3.3M    1%    /var/run
              devfs          1.0K    1.0K      0B  100%    /var/dhcpd/dev

              and im confused completely, it is suppose to delete all cache, and it did, but there is still 451GB of something? i dont think that is from logs, because i dont have much logging enabled.
