      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 ?

        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?

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

                  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.

                              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/

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

                                  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

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

                                    and entered:

                                    ls - l /var/squidguard

                                    ???

                                      $ 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

                                        OK - got that…

                                        Have you tried using the correct case and spelling?

                                        At this point you should know that right?

                                        I'm not running squidguard or SquIdGuaRD or whatever, but if I were I bet that ls -l /var would show me the correct spelling of that...

                                            Anyway you can see above that the directory is, oddly, called squidGuard and the file in it is <1K so not a problem.
