@firefox:

cant go to squidGuard

[2.1.5-RELEASE][admin@home.plex]/var(7): cd /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.
