Discrepancy in disk usage

rtw915

I’m running UTM on ESXi 5.5. When I installed it a couple of years ago I used the VMware specific image which is no longer available. Back then I provisioned a 30GB Thick Provisioned lazy Zeroed Virtual disk. I procrastinated and installed about 9 updates two weeks ago. Now the UTM is showing the log disk at 9.6 GB with 12% usage and the data disk at 7.3 GB with 85% usage.  Since then the data drive has been at 85%.

First off, where did the rest of the drive go? I’m not that great at linux and could only get the loginuser SSH account to work. Root access requires a public key or something.

Honestly, I would like to just stop the damn notification emails, but I could only find ways to clean up the log drive. Long term I would like to get the space back.

    Direct root access via SSH does require configuring to allow that using an RSA key, but, after getting in as loginuser, you can "su -" to enter the root password and become root.  Once you're root, try du -shx /var/storage/* to see if maybe the cores or pgsql92 subdirectory is very large.

    Bob you are awesome!

    I still need your help, but I decided to do a complete reinstall. I had ESXi and the datastore which contained pFsense, Untangle, and Sophos all on an 80 GB slow drive. I reinstalled ESXi to an usb and bought a 120 GB SSD. I reinstalled Sophos with a 50GB thick provision lazy zeroed virtual disk. During the install was hoping I could set the partitions manually. This is what was set automatically on install.

    Filesystem     Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

    /dev/sda6       5.2G 2.4G 2.6G 49% /

    udev           1.5G   72K 1.5G   1% /dev

    tmpfs           1.5G     0 1.5G   0% /dev/shm

    /dev/sda1       331M   15M 295M   5% /boot

    /dev/sda5       16G 830M   14G   6% /var/storage

    /dev/sda7       20G   84M   19G   1% /var/log

    /dev/sda8       1.2G 377M 769M 33% /tmp

    tmpfs           1.5G     0 1.5G   0% /var/sec/chroot-httpd/dev/shm

    tmpfs           1.5G     0 1.5G   0% /var/storage/chroot-reverseproxy/dev/shm

    tmpfs           1.5G   44K 1.5G   1% /var/storage/chroot-smtp/tmp/ram

     

    Before I reinstalled I only had a little over 1 GB of logs and the firewall had been up for about 3 years. Also I plan to try out iView which I believe off loads the logs anyways. I don’t think I need 20 GB of space for logs. Can this be changed? Lastly, I wish the resource usage on the dashboard had a third disk for the rest of this stuff, it obviously only shows sda5 and sda7. From the dashboard with a fresh install it looks like I’m already missing 15 GB.

    Thanks - Ryan
