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...

[scottalanmiller]

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.

[tiagom]

CentOS 7 here

[root@omega ~]# df -h /boot
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md126      488M  133M  321M  30% /boot

@tiagom how do you get the pretty colors?

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

This post is deleted!

[tiagom]

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

like so

[BRRABill]

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.

[tiagom]

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.)

[stacksofplates]

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.
