[SOLVED] New Filesystem "python3.9" Mounted After Upgrade to 23.1

[KingDigweed]

Hi All,

I just completed the upgrade to 23.1 and seem to be up and running fine. I virtualise my OPNsense box using Proxmox and made a backup of the VM before and after the upgrade.

Right before the upgrade, the complete backup was ~1GB. Compression is involved here but I always remember the file system, according to OPNsense itself, occupied around 1.7GB. After the upgrade (and cleaning of some left over logs), OPNsense is again reporting around 1.7GB used by the file system. However, backing up of the VM from within Proxmox yields a backup size of almost 2.4GB! How can this be?

A quick df -h from OPNsense's shell reveals that there seems to be a new filesystem mounted and I'm thinking this is where all that extra disk usage is coming from.

Code Select Expand

root@OPNsense:/var # df -h
Filesystem                  Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/gpt/rootfs             7.5G    1.7G    5.2G    24%    /
devfs                       1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/gpt/efifs              256M    1.7M    254M     1%    /boot/efi
devfs                       1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev
devfs                       1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/unbound/dev
/usr/local/lib/python3.9    7.5G    1.7G    5.2G    24%    /var/unbound/usr/local/lib/python3.9

This seems really strange to me so if anyone can share their thoughts, that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

It's for DNSBL Python module.

If you use "df -hT" you can see it its type is special "nullfs" which is an elaborate symlink and not more. :)
