>315MB in addition to the 228 that is on there adds up to a rather large boot partition.
I think what's using up so much space is that it rebuilds all initrd.imgs it can find and backups the old ones and then adds additional entries to your boot menu. I haven't looked at the code, it's just what I've surmised. When you delete some of the old kernel cruft (including the grub-entries) the additional space requirements should come down as well. So one of the questions that remain is: Should there be an automatic clean up of old kernels? People would loose the possibility to go back to old ones but wouldn't run into that many problems with full boot partitions. -- [MASTER] /boot free space check message misleading and space requirement too big https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
