filter_reload_status filling /var/run directory
-
Hello everyone,
I have been stuck for 2 days trying to fix this issue.
My /var/run/ is full due to the filter_reload_status file.
I have removed the file a few times, but it comes back as expected.
I am running a VM with the following configuration in VMware Workstation 14.
pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
FreeBSD 11.2-RLEASE-p4
RAM: 4GB
CPU: 1 x 2
Virtual Disk: 40GB
2 x Network AdaptersI have tried:

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2125706-filter-reload-errors-there-were-error-s-reloading-the-rules
---> for this second, mine was default at 2.000.000 and I changed to 4.000.000Any suggestion in how to fix it?

Any suggestion in how to fix it?
Fix what ?
The file /var/run/filter_reload_status is recreated every time when ... well .... filters are reloaded - a message clearly indictaed in the GUI on several screens.
Mine is about 9 k right now.What's wrong with yours ?
What in it ?Ok to remove the file, it's just a write down what the filter reload process did.

Hi Gertjan,
The thing is my /var/run has only 3.4 MB and is always running over 100% use.
For example, I can't properly restart my pfSense, because I get the message ".../var/run filesystem full"
Also, my logs show:
pid 59854 (php-fpm), uid 0 inumber 19 on /var/run: filesystem full.

filter_reload_status is that big ?
