Hi Listers/Skunks i have a pfsense running on hyper V , i have it working superbly , but due to some VHD limitations i can only do 30GB fixed size VHD which i have created and attached to the virtual and the pfsense can detect it My problems is 1. pfsense is indicating the hard drive is full which i surely doubt since its been running barely 3 weeks , and now none of the services are running due to this , i suspect the default partitionc 2. how can i use the second vhd to store logs for historical reporting -- GG
Hi GG, Isn't 30GB more than enough for pfSense? I suggest you find what is filling your disk. Perhaps it's a log file which is growing uncontrollably and all you need to do is to put in place a rotate policy which ensures you still get the data you desire from the log. Try something like du -hc / | grep '^[0-9]*M' | sort -r | less See which directory has the largest size and figure out what is causing it. Or better still, see if you just have some large files, perhaps > 100MB (You can play with the size factor) find / -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \; | sort | more You are better placed finding the cause of the problem than feeding it more space.

What packages are you running inside your pfSense? Squid, maybe? The general pfSense partition scheme is just to create / and swap. I think the swap normally is allocated about 4GB of the disk. The rest is / and most changes will happen in /var. Your logs files in /var/log and if running squid with a huge cache, then you better look at /var/squid/{logs,cache} and maybe you should recheck your squid configuration if you mistakenly gave it an unreasonably high cache size, or if you aren't rotating it's log files.

Geoffrey, Maybe Samba's log files are hogging up your disk space. Try this as a super user (root) on your box: # rm /var/log/samba/log.nmbd That really sorted me out big time on P.C-BSD. Martin. On Aug 12, 2013 11:20 AM, "geoffrey gitagia" <ggitagia@gmail.com> wrote:

My money's on a wrongly configured squid. pfsense can run on very small footprint.

What packages are you running inside your pfSense? Squid, maybe? The general pfSense partition scheme is just to create / and swap. I think the swap normally is allocated about 4GB of the disk. The rest is / and most changes will happen in /var. Your logs files in /var/log and if running squid with a huge cache, then you better look at /var/squid/{logs,cache} and maybe you should recheck your squid configuration if you mistakenly gave it an unreasonably high cache size, or if you aren't rotating it's log files.
