Strange hard disk utilisation
-
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 Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/ufsid/584efd2819fb83ad 40G 30G 6.9G 81% 42k 5.4M 1% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% 0 0 100% /dev /dev/md0 3.4M 200K 2.9M 6% 62 960 6% /var/run devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% 0 0 100% /var/dhcpd/dev /usr/local/bin 40G 30G 6.9G 81% 42k 5.4M 1% /var/unbound/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib 40G 30G 6.9G 81% 42k 5.4M 1% /var/unbound/usr/local/lib /lib 40G 30G 6.9G 81% 42k 5.4M 1% /var/unbound/lib devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% 0 0 100% /var/unbound/dev /var/log/pfblockerng 40G 30G 6.9G 81% 42k 5.4M 1% /var/unbound/var/log/pfblockerng /usr/local/share/GeoIP 40G 30G 6.9G 81% 42k 5.4M 1% /var/unbound/usr/local/share/GeoIP
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-increasingI don’t know if it applies to you (are you running pfBlockerNG-Devvel 3.0.0.16 with unbound Python integration)?
