Title: Disk 109% full, how to increase size
Post by: labsy on February 24, 2022, 10:30:25 am

Hi,

My OPNSense 19.1.10_1-amd64 is running FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p10-HBSD as a VIRTUAL MACHINE on ESX 6.5 server. It says DISK USAGE: 109% (100G/100G)

I dunno how is this even possible, and it is still running, but I will obviously need to act NOW.

Please...I have only copy/paste Linux knowledge - any reliable instructions on how to resize disk?

This level can be painful to be able to trim down but you have no choice but to find the biggest usage and delete. ls commnads to list and rm to remove (delete). Also du for disk usage stats.
Over 100% can be an rounding up error or a thin provisioned disk.
In any case you need to quickly ssh to your VM, find biggest directorirs, navigate  to them and start removing.
The OS doesn't take a lot of space, my guess is most of it is in logs ie. /var/log/

Excellent starting point, thank you!!!

I had problems SSH-ing, see port 22 is opene, listening on WAN interfaces, but simply cannot connect with Putty. Nevermind... did it via remote console and like you said, found disk hog, 92 GB in size, flowd.log:
