23.7 Legacy Series / Re: After upgrade to 23.7 and OPNsense 23.7.1_3-amd64 High disk write activity

It looks like Unbound DNS reporting is on I think. It is showing information in Reporting: Unbound DNS
I have searched a bit but how to disable this? And is this new? Was it not in the version before 23.7? I do not recall I have enabled features when I did the update?

Found and disabled Unbound DNS reporting, overlooked the setting.

I can happily confirm disabling Unbound DNS reporting made my disk IO drop back to a level I was used to see. Thanks franco for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Franco,

On my side it is still increasing see attached graphics. I do not use Netflow capturing.

b.t.w. in /var/log I can't find any big log files except for /var/log/filter in there for every day a file in between 50 and 100mb is written, don't know if this is normal. I found a way to decrease the amount of information written bij the firewall, let's see if that changes the behavior.

I'm running OPNsense already for a while in ProxMox. I noticed after the upgrade to 23.7 on august 6th an increase in disk write activity and a few day's after this upgrade more updates from OPNsense came august 9th and the disk write activity increased even more till roughly 350K Is this normal?

I also see that the use diskspace has almost doubled after the upgrade.

It appears OPNsense is running normal at the moment.
