      @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.

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

                        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.
