/boot partition is still full after removing kernels
Hello,
When i installed fedora i followed recommended partition size guide and set /boot size to 250 MB. Today when i ran dnf update command it gave me error:
At least 18MB more space needed on the /boot filesystem.
Then i followed tutorials on how to remove old kernels and i left only with the current one. I managed to shrink /boot partition down to 60MB according to nautilus. Problem is i still get same error:
At least 18MB more space needed on the /boot filesystem.
df -h printed:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root 48G 7,5G 38G 17% /
devtmpfs 2,0G 0 2,0G 0% /dev
tmpfs 2,0G 69M 1,9G 4% /dev/shm

/dev/mapper/fedora-home 379G 74G 286G 21% /home
tmpfs 396M 20K 396M 1% /run/user/1000
This shows that i have 13MB of free space in /boot but i dont know how is that possible?
Last good idea i tried was to boot gparted live and resize /boot. Then i noticed that gparted is showing my /home partition almost full to the top (400GB) which is not true. I gave up since it would need 6 hours for computer to move litle bit of the nothing to the right.
Does anyone have an idea why is /boot partition full when its actually not?
I edited in the table header for you; it helps demonstrate how much unused space is available in /boot: 13M. It doesn't sound like that's enough. What guide recommended a 250MB /boot partition?
This one: link text
Okay, I see you noticed the 13MB :)
Look for old initramfs, for kernels that are no longer installed.
I removed that and .img files also. Whatever i did from start to end, partition size was same.
That guide is for F15, not F20 :) Anyway, can you update your post with
ls -al /boot
please?
