      Dear all,

      pfsense is installed on a 512MB CF.

      After playing a while with install/removal of packages, it seems that disk usage is 99%.
      I guess these are old packages filling the flash.

      How can I know what fills-up pfsense CF?
      I am familiar with GNU/Linux, not FreeBSD.

      Any idea how to come back to 50% usage as previously.

      Kind regards,
      Grub3

        I found a solution:
        /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
        rm -fr perl5/
        /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

        It would be better if packages would uninstall cleanly.

        Kind regards,
