      I wonder what would happen if you went to diagnostics > command prompt

      and entered:

      ls - l /var/squidguard

      ???

        $ ls - l /var/squidguard
        ls: -: No such file or directory
        ls: /var/squidguard: No such file or directory
        ls: l: No such file or directory
        

        I guess it's like doktornotor
        Said

        /var/squidGuard is NOT the same thing like /var/squidguard

          OK - got that…

          Have you tried using the correct case and spelling?

          At this point you should know that right?

          I'm not running squidguard or SquIdGuaRD or whatever, but if I were I bet that ls -l /var would show me the correct spelling of that...

              Anyway you can see above that the directory is, oddly, called squidGuard and the file in it is <1K so not a problem.

                Well - lets see…

                10GB squid cache + 6GB (thats my basic install with very few packages and no squid)

                So 10 + 6 = 16GB

                So what percent of 20 is 16?  like 80%  ?

                And thats what I would expect if I was on your settings with squid and that drive.  If you get down to 5% or something then panic.

                  Thank you all

                  If you get down to 5% or something then panic.

                  why ?
                  What is this signals ?

                    Well - If you have settings that SHOULD chew up 70% of your disk but instead all of your disk space is being used, then you have a problem.
