  • How do I free up more space in /boot?

  • My /boot partition hit 100% and now I can't upgrade. Can't remove old kernels to make room

    11 answers



I've built a LAMP server a while ago to be a Moodle server for a school.
I'm trying to update the Moodle and add Ghostscript and am getting out of space warnings. I new to the world of ubuntu and installed pretty much all of it with defaults. My /dev/sda1 dir is only 256M and 100% used. If I recall, this is a 2TB drive. How do I enlarge these spaces so I can keep updating this machine?



ubunut screen shot showing file space use
Let me know what I did wrong and how to fix it.

  • Yes, my /boot is full. That's the problem I identified. Trying to learn what is wrong and how to fix. Poked around and found that I have 7 20MB initrd.img files. That looks like a possible problem. Am I on the right track?
