I think the patch presented at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1678187/comments/8 might give more helpful error message, since it avoids filling /boot as long as possible, thus the system is unlikely to run out of space while running mkinitramfs, but finds out, if the system lacks free space, and if it does, it tells the URL of the documentation page concerning removing old kernels.
P.S. The URL could be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LowDiskOnBoot alternatively. (Luke W Faraone uses that in his merge proposal, and it redirects to the same document currently.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798414 Title: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error message when there isn't enough free space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/initramfs-tools/+bug/798414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
