      I have a 80GB disk in my pfsense 1.2 firewall and after about 4 months of usage with squid I've got a 75 % filled disk.

      I left all the squid settings alone and didn't change the cache/log sizes.

      Can somebody tell me how I can quickly see where all the data is being stored and what is actually taking up all the space?

      I have no unix/freebsd knowledge.

        Connect to the console as root, start a shell and type:

        cd /
        du -csm *|sort -n

        Wait for it to finish, the one at the bottom is the largest directory.  To drill down type:

        cd directory
        du -csm *|sort -n

        Repeat until you get the answer you were looking for ;)
