Hello,

I didn't delete anything by hand.
The space comes back after a reboot, yes.

I found the problem : log rotation with pflogd.
I killed pflogd and started it again, and the free space came back.

But why log rotation fails ?
It worked like a charm since more than 2 years...

If that helps :

Are you deleting in-use log files?  Does the space come back after a
reboot?
