Sophos UTM: Root partition is filling up – please check.

You can keep getting theese mails, even though the dashboard says that data and log disk are only used a few percent.

(You need to get shell access to the UTM to continue)

There can be many reasons for this, but a common one is the log file for the database running in the UTM, which is located here:

/var/storage/pgsql92/data

Here you can run the following as root:

/etc/init.d/postgresql92 rebuild

This will rebuild and clear out any large logfiles from the database.

Beware: This is not a supported fix and you may loose logging information for history purposes.

HTH 🙂
