Title:
Autoupdater fills /boot and crashes because old kernel images are
never removed
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Ubuntu with the default LVM encryption recipe
2) Set Ubuntu to automatically install security updates on the background
3) Use ubuntu for 5 months
Actual results:
The system automatically installs security updates for the kernel under
/boot. It's never removes previous kernel images. After about five months, the
/boot partition created by the install recipe (i.e. sized according to the
judgment of Ubuntu developers—not me) fills up and the unattended updater
crashes during the next kernel update.
Expected results:
Expected the unattended updater to leave the nearest kernel and the previous
one on /boot and to automatically remove older kernel images. Expected the
system installer to set up /boot such that it never runs out of space when the
system updater operates automatically.
