High Usage of Root Partition in PA-220 After upgradre to 10.1 version

SubaMuthuram — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 07:31:58 GMT

Hi Team,

After upgradation of PAN-OS 10.1.x version we are facing High Root Partition issue in our firewall.

Even after manually clean the logs after 5 days it is back to high, Is there any particular reason the partition usage is high ?

Hello,

Make sure you are running a recommend version:

Delete the older software packages in Device->Software.
