| From: William Witteman via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | When I installed Debian on my current computer, I (foolishly) let the | install script partition my disk. Now I have a /boot partition that is too | small.
Useless advice: I've never felt the need for a /boot partition. I just have it as part of /. Start up the time machine. Turning this into useful advice: you could change your setup to do this, abandoning the /boot partition. I assume you are using UEFI booting. In particular, grub and its bits are living in /boot/efi (a mount point for the ESP). You need to have the grub.cfg refer to /boot inside / rather than /boot the (obsolete) partition. Off the top of my head, UNTESTED, here's what I'd try. Do have a live Linux USB stick standing by in case your surgery results in a broken system. 1. unmount /boot/efi 2. cp -a /boot /boot-new 3. mount /boot/efi 4. change things (mostly grub.cfg) ain /boot/efi/ so that they refer to the relocated /boot (a new GUUID, the one for /; a new path, including /boot). 5. umount /boot/efi 6. umount /boot 7, mv /boot /boot-old 8. mv /boot-new /boot 9, remove /boot from /etc/fstab 10, reboot. The tricky bit is getting step 4 just right. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
