Overview

Manage disk space on SafeSquid server. When any of the partitions that are used by SafeSquid are full, it results in undefined behavior. This may lead to something like, SafeSquid failing in processing the connections.

Prerequisites

Give the enough size to backup store.

Example : If you want to take a backup of files of size 5GB then consider the store upto 5.5 GB

Don't delete the original log files (.log extension) and database files.

Check disk space

Run below command to check available disk space on each partition.

df -kh

You will see the Used and Available size on each partition.

Filesystem	Size	Used	Avail	Use%	Mounted on
udev	735M	4.0K	735M	1%	/dev
tmpfs	150M	428K	149M	1%	/run
/dev/dm-2	4.9G	4.2G	424M	91%	/
none	4.0K	0	4.0K	0%	/sys/fs/cgroup

/dev/ram1	62M	1.3M	58M	3%	/tmp/safesquid

If any of the above partitions are observed to be used over 80%, then you may take backup of the following files and delete files as per your requirement.

Partitions

/

When "/" partition is full remove the files in below paths:

/opt/safesquid/bin

change the directory to /opt/safesquid/bin by using below command

cd /opt/safesquid/bin

The default files and folders are :

sections
modules
safesquid -> safesquid-2017.0518.2110.3-swg-concept*
You should not delete the tar file which is soft linked to SafeSquid file. In the above image it is : safesquid-2017.0518.2110.3-swg-concept*

/var/log

You can also take the backup of system logs and delete the files with .gz extension. This folder contains the logs related to system, so don't delete or modify the original files (i.e. with .log extension).

Example : dmesg.1.gz

/var/cache/safesquid

Delete all files from this folder by using below command. No need to take a backup of any file from this folder

rm -rf *

/var/db/safesquid

Delete all files except these three files from the directory : /var/db/safesquid/report/

safesquid2.db
safesquid2.db-wal
safesquid2.db-shm

These files will be used to store the data required for reports generation

Note : If you delete or moved the above files to other destination then restart the SafeSquid server, in order to create the deleted or moved files.
