      I have no idea what's /dev/ufsid/558d3d40eba9a34e - if you hacked pfSense to mount another disk completely outside of existing directory structure, you need to pick up the pieces.

        It's a reference to the disk containing the root file system using ufsid, which you can switch to using /usr/local/sbin/ufslabels.sh

        The big advantage of this approach is that changes to controller names don't leave your system unbootable.

        It's clear that the OP's high disk usage is in /var/db from the output posted, so the next step is du -hd1 /var/db

          with du -hd1 /var/db the result is :
          4.6M    /var/db/rrd
          616K    /var/db/pbi
          4.0K    /var/db/portsnap
          4.0K    /var/db/ports
          4.0K    /var/db/pkg
          4.0K    /var/db/ipf
          4.0K    /var/db/hyperv
          4.0K    /var/db/freebsd-update
          4.0K    /var/db/entropy
          4.0K    /var/db/pingstatus
          4.0K    /var/db/pingmsstatus
          4.0K    /var/db/cpelements
          11M    /var/db/ntop
          4.0K    /var/db/squidGuard
          17M    /var/db

            I read your original output twice, came to the correct conclusion, then came to an incorrect conclusion and posted based on it. I mixed up M and G. /var is not the problem - it's only a few tens of megabytes. You're looking for something that uses gigabytes.

            Try du -hd1 /

            I have a suspicion that full backups in /root might be the problem. What does ls -l /root/*.tgz show?

              Look. There's a GUI button to wipe Squid cache. Why on earth don't you use it?! Where did you place the Squid cache? How many disks you have on your pfSense box?

                Where is that button? I can't find it. Squid is placed under /var/squid/cache. I have one disk.

                  It's very surprisingly located on the 'Local Cache' tab…

                      Yeah, when you are using Squid 2.7, you don't and won't have any such button. Noone maintains that package. No good reason to use it either. Dead crap.

                        David_W is right. This doesn't look like a Squid cache problem. Run the command he suggests (du -hd1 /) and see what the output shows. You're looking for a folder somewhere containing gigs of data.

                            There's your problem. Run 'du -hd1 /usr' to see what subdirectory under there is taking up all the space and address the issue accordingly.

                                Keep going. So what folder under '/usr/pbi' is full? (Hint: run 'du -hd1 /usr/pbi'). My guess is that you have a load of Squidguard cache info sitting in there.

                                    Yeah. So, what's exactly your question? Delete the Sarg cruft. How on earth have you managed to accumulate 30 gigs of reports in 3 months? Are you running that nonsense every 5 minutes or WTF?

                                      Thnaks to all. I deleted all the sarg reports and now I have a disk with 5% use.
