Virtual Disk capacity shows different from the disk capacity shown in WebGUI
-
Okay, Done!
I have now Disk Usage of 18% ;D
When I tried cd /var/squid/cache it didn't recognized the command it says something "not found"
I only employed:
rm -r /var/squid/cache
after it finish restart ninyo yung pfsense box
then type squid -zI think there's something that I did wrong. After rm -r /var/squid/cache I didn't restarted the console instead I squid -z then I restarted. Is there an effect on it? Or shall I squid -z now?
-
Good idea.
I'd do all of this:
cd /var/squid/cache
rm -rf *
squid -zBut this is just a band-aid. You have to fix that disk size issue. Reinstall is best most reliable way.
I am reluctant to re-install it is because I might lost my theme. I created my own personalized theme and I painfully uploaded each of the file via File Manager. If I reinstall the original ova file, I might lose my theme. Or do you happen to have a solution to quick upload a theme?
-
If the squid process is running (no red x) and your disk usage isn't causing a crash, I'd say hindi touche ang sumpain bagay.
You can attempt to resize the slice properly - Thats just going to have to happen.
If that fails, a reinstall is a must. You could also reduce the cach size to less than 7GB? I don't think you want to do that.
Plus, your theme isn't really important more than likely. Do you really want to have a bunch of time invested into a theme that disappears every time you update? Proper function is whats really important right?
-
Yeah, you're right. :-[
I just love my blue-ish theme. I wonder why pfsense guru wouldn't want to create a better File Manager or say Theme Upload Manager.
Okay, thanks a lot for the mean time, I know we have a band-aid on place and if I still find favor from you would also be patient enough to teach me how to "resize the slice" properly.From the VB end, I am able to resize the Virtual Disk from 10GB to 100GB. My problem would be on how to tell pfsense that the Virtual Disk is not 100GB. So that's maybe where we could start.
I'm ready for the next lesson sir!
What data do you need for me to start telling pf to acknowledge the new 100GB Virtual Disk?
Also, I'm a little bit confused, in the VB it says also about actual size.Virtual Disk: 100GB
Actual Size: 7.77GBIt confused me.

Its like this:
http://wtf.hijacked.us/wiki/index.php/Resizing_Partitions
Which is why I'm encouraging you to backup settings today, reinstall and restore config.
-
Okay Diagnostics: Backup/restore
Back up: ALLNow reading the link…let me see if I understood.
-
Looks like you are on the right track.
-
Okay, while studying this, there are some issues also that I wish to resolve:
1. Auth logs - how to tell pfsense to save the auth log-file to a specific storage ie, drive: D: - I can't fine any tutorials so I assume you might know some blogs about it?
Still reading the wiki…
-
I'm not sure about that one. Hows the disk size fixing going?
-
I wasn't able to digest yet the wiki but am still into it. Meanwhile, I used Clone VDI tool to increase the virtual drive from 10GB to 100GB then I noticed there is a check box in there to increase partition size but there is no option to enter a definite size but it was expanded as a dynamic virtual disk which, it says here, it auto grows.
Anyway, I'll update you what will gona happen since I have not yet attempted to attach the adjusted virtual disk to my virtual machine.
-
Cool. I know you really want to keep that theme. ;)

Hi,
I haven't much time to simulate the lesson on the wiki but I have printed for my keep. I have attached the expanded storage, then erased the previous saved cached files.
This are my observation:
In just the whole day it filled my storage up to 85%. This is the status 4 hrs ago. Now I checked and it became 83%, I don't know what it means. But it seems to me it auto grows as it fills the storage. I have allocated 100G as you advice and put a cache cap of 40G. So I'm still observing.
Anyway, I have 2 another question as attached.
Image 1 refers to the WAN traffic but I'm not really sure how to interpret it. Also with image 2, the LAN traffic. How to interpret those data?
