I am going through the process of preparing my bookworm system for upgrade to trixie.
The following statement from section 5.15 of the release notes caught my eye:
- Before starting the upgrade, make sure your `/boot` partition is at least
768 MB in size, and has about 300 MB free. If your system does not have a
separate `/boot` partition, there should be nothing to do.
My /boot partition is only 488 MB in size. Here is the output of lsblk:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTSsda
8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part
├─sda3 8:3 0 9.3G 0 part

└─sdb1 8:17 0 3.6T 0 part /media/jonathan/Borg-Backup

├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 488M 0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 476G 0 part
├─debian--vg-root 254:0 0 47.9G 0 lvm /
├─debian--vg-swap_1 254:1 0 976M 0 lvm [SWAP]
└─debian--vg-home 254:2 0 408.1G 0 lvm /home
As long as I am going through the process of resizing partitions I thought I
would increase the size of the /boot partition to 2 GB.
I am also thinking of increasing my swap partition from 1GB to 32 GB (I have 32
GB of RAM).
So what I believe I have to do is:
1. Reduce the size of the lvm logical volume debian--vg-home by 32.5 GB.
2. Increase the size of the lvm logical volume debian--vg-swap by 31 GB.
3. Reduce the size of the lvm physical volume by 1.5 GB.
4. Move the lvm physical volume to the right (if that is the correct way to
put it) to make room for the increased size of /boot.
5. Increase the size of the /boot partition by 1.5 GB.
(Do I need to move the lvm logical volume debian--vg-home before extending
swap?)
Three questions:
1. Does the above outline make sense?
2. Can anyone point me to the documentation which will show me how to do this?
3. Am I over complicating things? Should I just backup my home partition and
re-install from scratch with all new partitions and then restore /home?
Thanks!
