I have a shutdown IPFire virtual machine that I want to save to move to a new server.
The backup program shows me space for 125GB, I can’t understand what the reason could be.
What could have generated all these GB?
I can’t activate it because there is another firewall with the same addresses and they would conflict while I am working remotely.
I’ll have to go get it with an external disk, but I would like to understand what could have happened.
The suggestion was to run the tar command on your IPFIre backup file that is 128GB large to get a list of the large file or files that are using such a large amount of space.
The link provided by @jon was to explain the background behind the tar command that he provided.
