      Hello to everyone,
      I have strange situation on my Netgate SG-8860 unit with hard disk utilisation.
      On WebUI

      On terminal result is equal but I can't find what eat my disk space.

      df -hi

      Disk usage (du) command shows me completely different results and I can't find where is my used space on hard disk.

      du -sh /*
      8.0K	COPYRIGHT
      1.3M	bin
      175M	boot
      4.0K	boot.config
       11M	cf
        0B	conf
       12K	conf.default
      4.0K	dev
       23M	etc
      188K	home
       12M	lib
      184K	libexec
      4.0K	media
      4.0K	mnt
      4.0K	net
      4.0K	proc
      9.7M	rescue
      104M	root
      4.5M	sbin
        0B	sys
      6.4M	tmp
      1.2G	usr
      1.2G	var
      

      Could anyone help me with this situation? Is there any command (command that I don't know) to find used space and free it?
      I'm still on 2.4.5 p1 version of Pfsense software!
      Thanks in advance!

        @gotanbl Take a look at this Thread:
        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/164802/disk-usage-slowly-increasing

        I don’t know if it applies to you (are you running pfBlockerNG-Devvel 3.0.0.16 with unbound Python integration)?

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
