How do I delete the information on the hard disk ?

kejianshi

assuming when you set up squid you didn't do something crazy, like tell it to use 30GB fro cache, and that you set it up correctly, it shouldn't outgrow your drive. I would not worry if its 70% full.

firefox

Not sure what's happening there, but I'm using a 40 GB drive and only sitting at 2% usage.

I think it's because squidGuard
For two years
It was about 16 percent

Only after I installed squidGuard
A month ago, maybe a little less

It started to fill

Your squid config will fill up to 10GB on its own and then should start to recycle space.

I wouldn't worry about it unless it actually fills 100% and crashes.

Otherwise, let it run.

firefox

But that was a long time on 16 percent
It started to fill
Only after I installed squidGuard
So until now it was not working right ?

kejianshi

Probably - If you are sending most of your traffic through squid, it will fill a 10GB cache pretty quick.

I would imagine that you only just started using that cache recently.

What about your SquidGuard logs?

is it ok ?

You have log rotation selected but is it working as expected? Check the log file size in /var/squidguard.

Steve

firefox

how do i do that ?
i know how to ssh

but how do i know the size of the file or is name ?

stephenw10

Connect to the console with SSH, go to the /var/squidguard directory and list the files with their size using, for example, 'ls -lhS'.

I really am not seeing the issue here. If you don't like seeing a high percentage of disk usage on a 20GB pfsense install, don't allocate 10GB to squid.

Not that your current setting are bad. They are fine. But if it makes you happy to not utilize 50% of your disk space, just set the squid for 50000 instead of 10000.

My squid installs ALWAYS filled the entire cache, and as far as I know, thats what it should be doing. I think you are worried over nothing.

It may be works correctly
It just seems odd to me
It was a long time about 16 to 20 percent
And within two weeks jumped to 60 percent
I'm not going to change it
I wanted to know why Out of curiosity

If it works correctly now
It means that it did not work correctly before

go to the /var/squidguard

/var/squidguard: Command not found.

firefox

I think I managed
This command i did in the library /var/

cant go to squidGuard

Yeah, layer 8 error…


cd /var/squidGuard/

kejianshi

Where did the "var" go?

firefox

At first I did

cd /var/squidGuard/

it give me this

/var/squidguard: Command not found.

so i try this

cd /var/

and then i try```
cd /squidGuard/

it didnt work

So I wrote down the command in the folder /var/

ls -lhS


Very strange
I tried this order exactly it did not work before
Here is outcome for ls -lhS in  /var/squidGuard/

total 2

Impossible. And kindly note that the filesystem is case sensitive. /var/squidGuard is NOT the same thing like /var/squidguard

firefox

Probably that's why it did not work
In your latest post
I just copied the command I pasted into the terminal
Not like before

kejianshi

I wonder what would happen if you went to diagnostics > command prompt

and entered:

ls - l /var/squidguard

???

firefox

$ ls - l /var/squidguard
ls: -: No such file or directory
ls: /var/squidguard: No such file or directory
ls: l: No such file or directory

I guess it's like doktornotor
Said

/var/squidGuard is NOT the same thing like /var/squidguard
