Root partition almost full (99% used)

[Lucas Rey]

Dear community,
I installed FreeNAS 9.2.1.5 some days ago, and today the root partition reach the 99% in use.
This is very annoyng because I have some script that send snmp trap to check the

Is this normal? Is there a way to free up disk space?
I remember that on fresh install the occupied space was 97/98%.

Code:

# df -h
Filesystem  Size  Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a  926M  841M  11M  99%  /
devfs  1.0k  1.0k  0B  100%  /dev
/dev/md0  4.6M  3.3M  902k  79%  /etc
/dev/md1  823k  2.0k  756k  0%  /mnt
/dev/md2  149M  43M  94M  31%  /var
/dev/ufs/FreeNASs4  19M  1.8M  16M  10%  /data

Code:

# du -sch * | grep M
1.1M  bin
62M  boot
12M  conf
1.8M  data
3.3M  etc
8.3M  lib
11M  opt
4.8M  rescue
6.2M  sbin
732M  usr
43M  var

Thanks

FreeNAS is essentially an embedded system. The USB should be read-only. Even logs are written to the pool instead of the USB drive. Don't try to free up space. Just modify your script.
