Title: Full Dev Directories
Post by: abel5405 on March 19, 2021, 11:32:10 PM
Greetings All,
I am new to Opnsense and to Linux in general and after install of the Opnsense appliance I see there are 3 very small directories 100% full.

Filesystem      1K-blocks    Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/gpt/rootfs  92421240 2072532 82955012     2%    /
devfs                   1       1        0   100%    /dev
devfs                   1       1        0   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev
devfs                   1       1        0   100%    /var/unbound/dev

It keeps reporting to my Syslog server that they are full.  I tried looking up increasing the space for these directories but keep going in circles looking for a resolution.  Is this by design, is this something to be concerned about?  I apologize if this is a dumb question but any info would be greatly appreciated.

This is by design. These filesystems are created dynamically by the FreeBSD/HardenedBSD OS and you cannot write to them, anyway. They are always at 100%.
