How do I delete the information on the hard disk ?
-
You have log rotation selected but is it working as expected? Check the log file size in /var/squidguard.

how do i do that ?
i know how to sshbut how do i know the size of the file or is name ?
-
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 curiosityIf it works correctly now
It means that it did not work correctly beforego to the /var/squidguard
/var/squidguard: Command not found. -
I think I managed

cant go to squidGuard
[2.1.5-RELEASE][admin@home.plex]/var(7): cd /squidGuard/ /squidGuard/: No such file or directory.Yeah, layer 8 error…
cd /var/squidGuard/ -
Where did the "var" go?
-
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
drwxr-xr-x 2 proxy proxy 512B Mar 16 00:00 log -
At first I did
cd /var/squidGuard/it give me this
/var/squidguard: Command not found.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 directoryI 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...
-
There's also this wonderful Tab key…
-
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.
-
Thank you all
If you get down to 5% or something then panic.
why ?
What is this signals ? -
Well - If you have settings that SHOULD chew up 70% of your disk but instead all of your disk space is being used, then you have a problem.
