hi, new user here
im installing in 128GB mSata SSD
i found there's a file eat up disk space up to 88G and i'm running low disk space, does anyone know what is ifconfig.core related file or service? and its is safe to delete?

root@firewall:/usr/local/opnsense/service # du -mah | sort -rh | head -n 5
95G    .
88G    ./ifconfig.core
1.0G    ./wc.core
1.0G    ./sh.core
1.0G    ./sed.core
root@firewall:/usr/local/opnsense/service #

already tried to search the forum and github code for the clue but has not found it yet
any help are appreciated

Regards
Reza

I can tell you that my Install only uses 15gb of 100gb drive.  I can also tell you that I don't see the ifconfig.core file on my system.  That does not mean however that you don't have a plugin installed or something that I do not.

I do not know the content of that file but if it is a core dump, it is safe to delete.

hi, thanks for the information
@cguilford
