Hi all!
Hope I'm doing this right now... I might have comited a greate mistake. Today I run a apt full-upgrade, however it exited with an error and the message "no space left on device" and the device was the boot partition. No probleme I thougt, so I removed the files related to the two previously installd kernel images, leaving the current that I booted from. However, there was still not enough space left, so.... while it felt abit like cutting off the branch I was sitting on, I thought that everything needed was in RAM and I was after all just about to install a new kernel-image. To my great suprice and horror, there was still not enough space left on the device.
Now my boot partition is around 500 MB and the space required was somewhat above 300 MB so it should have been enough I thought, but no... so now I can't turn my computer off...
Does it use the partition it installs to for unpacking? How can it say it needs 300 MB and still 500 is not enough? And why was I able to keep three images in /boot and now suddenly there is not enough space for one? What I'm I missing? And most of all, what can I do about it? Is it possible to resize the boot partition? I'm afraid that the only "unused" space is at the end of a LVM LUKS encrypted partition...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards
