How do I delete the information on the hard disk ?
-
I have the following packages installed
squidGuard
squid
snort
havpi have 20 giga hdd on 70 Percent (Disk usage)
How can I empty the hard disk -
Not sure what's happening there, but I'm using a 40 GB drive and only sitting at 2% usage.
-
Check the cache size and log size of all your packages.
-
Check the log size on PFsense: Status -> System logs -> Settings tab
there just isn't much else writing to disc, so beyond checking the above I don't think there is much else to do. I would NOT recommend trying to manually reclaim space in the shell… that's just a disaster waiting to happen.
My guess is most of that space is either your squid cache or you modified the default PFsense log size, but if checking the above does not reclaim any space, honestly I would just backup your config and restore it on a bigger drive.

assuming when you set up squid you didn't do something crazy, like tell it to use 30GB fro cache, and that you set it up correctly, it shouldn't outgrow your drive. I would not worry if its 70% full.

I think it's because squidGuard
For two years
It was about 16 percentOnly after I installed squidGuard
A month ago, maybe a little lessIt started to fill
 -
Your squid config will fill up to 10GB on its own and then should start to recycle space.
I wouldn't worry about it unless it actually fills 100% and crashes.
Otherwise, let it run.
-
But that was a long time on 16 percent
It started to fill
Only after I installed squidGuard
So until now it was not working right ? -
Probably - If you are sending most of your traffic through squid, it will fill a 10GB cache pretty quick.
I would imagine that you only just started using that cache recently.

What about your SquidGuard logs?

Here
is it ok ?
 -
You have log rotation selected but is it working as expected? Check the log file size in /var/squidguard.

how do i do that ?
i know how to sshbut how do i know the size of the file or is name ?
-
Connect to the console with SSH, go to the /var/squidguard directory and list the files with their size using, for example, 'ls -lhS'.

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. But if it makes you happy to not utilize 50% of your disk space, just set the squid for 50000 instead of 10000.
My squid installs ALWAYS filled the entire cache, and as far as I know, thats what it should be doing. I think you are worried over nothing.

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 curiosityIf it works correctly now
It means that it did not work correctly beforego to the /var/squidguard

cant go to squidGuard
[2.1.5-RELEASE][admin@home.plex]/var(7): cd /squidGuard/ /squidGuard/: No such file or directory.Yeah, layer 8 error…
cd /var/squidGuard/ -
Where did the "var" go?
-
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
drwxr-xr-x 2 proxy proxy 512B Mar 16 00:00 log -
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
