Disk usage 100%

josey · Apr 19, 2012, 1:19 PM

Hi guys
I was searching forum for help with no luck,
I have 100% of disk usage, and network performance become really poor…
is there way to manually "clean" disk?

It seems that squid cache eat all disk space.
I have 2HDD 320gb in raid (640gb total) and cache is set to 500gb
4gb ram with 8gb swap

$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ar0s1a 570G 524G 0B 100% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/md0 3.6M 34K 3.3M 1% /var/run
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/dhcpd/dev

thanks

rm -r /var/squid/cache/*

after that:

squid -z

thanks
did that and after 3 hours :)
result is:
disk usage 86%

and
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ar0s1a 570G 451G 73G 86% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/md0 3.6M 34K 3.3M 1% /var/run
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/dhcpd/dev

and im confused completely, it is suppose to delete all cache, and it did, but there is still 451GB of something? i dont think that is from logs, because i dont have much logging enabled.

everything fine after squid -z and reboot
disk usage 0%

thanks
