Question


System disk usage shows multiple file system partition and if disk usage is high, we need to lower the disk usage with the valid cleanup method. 

 

> show system disk-space
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root       3.8G  3.2G  438M  89% /
none            2.5G   56K  2.5G   1% /dev
/dev/mmcblk0p5   12G  7.4G  3.5G  69% /opt/pancfg
/dev/mmcblk0p6  3.8G  2.1G  1.6G  58% /opt/panrepo
tmpfs           2.5G  357M  2.2G  15% /dev/shm
cgroup_root     2.5G     0  2.5G   0% /cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p8  4.7G  2.7G  1.8G  62% /opt/panlogs
/dev/loop0      111M  5.6M  100M   6% /opt/panlogs/wildfire/tmpfile

 


Environment


PAN-OS

Answer


> show system disk-space
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root       3.8G  3.2G  438M  89% / ---------> system root partition
none            2.5G   56K  2.5G   1% /dev
/dev/mmcblk0p5   12G  7.4G  3.5G  69% /opt/pancfg ---------> PAN config partition 
/dev/mmcblk0p6  3.8G  2.1G  1.6G  58% /opt/panrepo ---------> PAN OS repository partition
tmpfs           2.5G  357M  2.2G  15% /dev/shm
cgroup_root     2.5G     0  2.5G   0% /cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p8  4.7G  2.7G  1.8G  62% /opt/panlogs ---------> PAN Log related partition
/dev/loop0      111M  5.6M  100M   6% /opt/panlogs/wildfire/tmpfile
  • / : system root partition : If the root partition is over 90, lower the disk usage with following CLI "debug software disk-usage cleanup deep threshold 90"
  • /opt/pancfg : pan config partition : Delete the saved config and pancfg subdirectory usage, verify the usage with following CLI "show system pancfg-directory-usage"
  • /opt/panlogs : pan log related partition :  Lower the disk quota rate or delete the old logs. 
  • /opt/panrepo: PAN OS repository partition : Lower the disk space by deleting the old PAN-OS.
