      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

      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.

                                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.
