How do I delete the information on the hard disk ?

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

kejianshi

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...

doktornotor

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.

firefox

Thank you all

If you get down to 5% or something then panic.

why ?
What is this signals ?

kejianshi

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.
