      I'm running on sg-5100. I was trying to setup separate subnet for my voip. Not sure if it is related or not but I notice "unbound" was disabled. When I tried enable it, I'm getting errors. I tried google the error and it mention about the disk usuage. So I look at my dashboard, I notice it already exceed 6.7GB. Usually, I'm only using about 20% with pfBlockerNG and Suricate enable.

      I using the Diagnostics > Command Prompt, run "du -sh /*" and notice that 5GB usage in /tmp. As I dig futher, it show bootmessage was using 5GB. I removed it but the disk usuage still showing 106%. It seems rebooting remove all the files in /tmp. Any idea what bootmessage use for? I did backup restore not sure it is related or not

        Do you mean?: /tmp/bootup_messages

        If you reboot after removing it does the file return at a size you can open? What's in it?
