      The only packages installed are

      • acme
      • list itemopenvpn-client-export

      It looks like the most space is taken up in /usr/local

      Is it possible this amount of disk usage is due to the many system upgrades?

      Would it be best to restore factory image and start over?

        @markeby if you have ZFS delete old boot environments.
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/filesystem-shrink.html

        Or run
        du -h /usr/local
        to see what’s in that directory.

        To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
        Only install packages for your version of pfSense.

          @SteveITS zfs is not the default installed by netgate. It is ufs.

            @markeby it’s been the default since 22.01 but needs a reinstall otherwise the router stayed on UFS. “If”

            Did you find what was using the space?

              @SteveITS I haven't seen a netgate image to reinstall except for the one I did a few years back and that is UFS as well.

                @markeby You have to request it.
                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-2440/reinstall-pfsense.html
                ZFS isn’t going to solve a disk space (usually logging) issue, I was saying if you had ZFS check that.

                The command will list usage for that entire directory tree.

                To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
