      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/

        @firefox:

        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 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.
