      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/
                            
                            

                            total 2

                              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.

                                            Well - lets see…

                                            10GB squid cache + 6GB (thats my basic install with very few packages and no squid)

                                            So 10 + 6 = 16GB

                                            So what percent of 20 is 16?  like 80%  ?

                                            And thats what I would expect if I was on your settings with squid and that drive.  If you get down to 5% or something then panic.
