Harddrive is running full (Squid)

Lord_Firewall

Hello together,

I'm writing to you because I want to clean my harddisk. Before I installed the Squid package my disk usage showed me only 2%. But now during the daily business it increases a lot. I found some commands for cleaning the cache…

What I have used:

squid -k shutdown

rm -rf /var/squid/cache/*

squid -z

…but don't get back my space on my harddrive.

I have also tried to clean the logs under "/var/squid/logs" but this was only 30MB. I attached some screenshots of my configuration maybe you can find something wrong.

So I know look for some hints that could probably be helpfull for me. I kindly ask you if you could please help in that case. What else could it be?

King Regards

Trying running the below code you could try changing the 50MB threshold to something higher as well to pinpoint quicker the folder in question.


cd /
du -h -t 50MB

So you have used 3GB. Is that a problem? Are you seeing filesystem full errors?
10GB is a small drive, what sort of drive is it?

Ok guys, over the night my problem solved on its own. Now I'm back at 9 percent of disk usage.

Don't get me wrong. That's not a problem but I like it when I have the control over my machines and this includes the possibility to manage the space on the harddrive in my firewall machine.
I don't see any filesystem errors likewise I don't know where I have to look. ;) The PC is an old desktop computer which now functioned as the firewall.

Thank you both for you quick response.

Are you running in a virtual machine by chance?

No I do not.
