BRRABill's Field Report With Linux

@BRRABill said in BRRABill's Field Report With Linux:

So it seems like it likes to undercut the boot partition?

@scottalanmiller did you manually set yours?

Yes, but not like it is now, so it didn't accept my manual changed and modified itself to that.

Seems like (from the Google) I can delete old packages and whatnot.

Yours is about 50% smaller then the others posted.

Maybe consider extending it?

I've run into this on two of the last 3 systems I've tried to upgrade... I just remove all but the most recent kernel files, and then run the upgrade again.

Ubuntu 15.10 at initial Install

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1       236M  111M  113M  50% /boot

Ubuntu 14.04 at initial install

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       134M   72M   53M  58% /boot

KVM Server on Ubuntu 15.10: No separate /boot partition (root FS is ext4)

OpenSuSE Tumbleweed: No separate /boot partition (root FS is btrfs)

That's what I am doing, though only the absolute oldest, as the Google said not remove too many recent ones in case anything depends on them.

But, you are saying it's safe to delete everything except the one running? (Obviously.)

I've run into this multiple times in the past with Ubuntu. For some reason old kernel images aren't removed when space is running low. To check your current image use uname -r. Then you can uninstall the older images.

And I can delete every kernel image I am not using?

I ask because I did an "autopurge" and it left two of them.

stacksofplates

You can but I'd keep one or two extra to fall back on.

Essentially,. that's what I do... But I copy the /boot directory somewhere else on my main partition just in case I need to put it back, lol.

Advanced OS. Bah!

Can, yes. Best practice is to always keep at least one old one. But if you've been using the current one for a while, that's unnecessary.

No one ever claimed Ubuntu was advanced.

Advanced? More like a mishmash of old and new that ends up breaking lots of things.
