      failed to write (No space left on device)
      No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error
      

      😉

      Yeah, you know I missed that until I posted it here and it got colored syntax.

        Off to Google for article on how to clean up the boot partition.

        Why does Linux seem to always make the boot partition so small? On multiple systems it always seems to fill up quickly.

        That's weird, I've not see that happen in decades. How big is your boot partition?

        df -h /boot
        

        What were your install parameters?

                This is what my Ubuntu 16.04.1 install gave me..

                scott@scott-rog:~$ df -h /boot
                Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
                /dev/sdb2       120G   20G  101G  16% /

                  WTH.

                  Let me run through a fresh install again and see what it does...

                    Here is a fresh Mint 18 install on the Scale and what it chose to do. It's Ubuntu 16.04 under the hood.

                      I was curious about my CentOS VM running production owncloud.

                            He posted text, not a screen shot. MangoLassi added the colours.

                                Yup, you add 4 spaces in front of what whatever you want.

                                like so

                                  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.

                                      Just on yours, we are all seeing larger sizes of around 500MB.

                                        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
