      I am running an SG-2220 and DHCP has stopped working on it.  I have checked all the configuration settings I could find and they all seem to be correct.  The software is - 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)

          On the LAN side.

          None of the clients get DHCP info from the pfSense box.

            Is DHCP running in System > Services>?

            Is anything interesting logged in System > Logs, DHCP?

            You might try stopping and restarting the service in System > Services if there is nothing interesting to see anywhere else.

              This is from the logs, looks like some kind of error but no idea how to fix it if it is.

                Your disk is full. Check things like squid logs.

                  I see the disk is full, and I have cleared all the logs and the disk is still showing as full.

                    Have to find what's chewing it up. What packages have you installed?

                    It's probably in var. Try this in Diagnostics > Command Prompt

                    du -skh /var/*

                        All log files have been removed yet the disk still shows 100% usage.

                          Probably squid that filled your disk then. Try Clear Disk Cache NOW in Local Cache.

                          If you turned on access logging in General turn it off.

                            What do I do when that doesn't work?

                              Run du commands to find out where the space is being taken up and figure out how to clean it out.

                              You never provided the output from the command I gave you earlier.

                                I had to use the paid service and they fixed it.  Turns out it was the Squid log files, despite using the clear logs function though the GUI
