Hi Grub-Team,
I have ubuntu 16.04 and my /boot directory has become too small (only 150MB) so
I want to move it. For this I need some help.
I asked in ubuntuforums.org and askubuntu.com, but nobody could help.
/boot is on a separate ext4 partition with 150MB.
"/" is on a btrfs partition with 40GB.
My thoughts how to solve this:
-create /boot2 on btrfs
-copy all files from /boot to /boot2
-unmount /boot
-rename /boot2 to /boot
-run grub-install /dev/sdb5 # ?
I'm not sure about the device for grub-install.
Is it the device where the grub partition is (sdb1) or is it the device where
/boot is (sdb5)?
Here ist the output of parted -l:
Model: ATA Samsung SSD 750 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 120GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 316MB 315MB bios bios_grub
2 316MB 473MB 157MB ext4 boot
3 473MB 8862MB 8389MB linux-swap(v1) swap
5 8862MB 50,6GB 41,8GB btrfs root
4 50,6GB 120GB 69,2GB btrfs home
6 120GB 120GB 210MB fat32 exchange msftdata
This is what dpkg tells about grub2:
ii grub2-common 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu amd64
GRand Unified Bootloader (common files for version 2)
I do not use UEFI boot.
Thank you very much for helping,
Martin
