Yes, I'm an experienced user and I too have spent a lot of time tracking down why a 12.04 LTS update failed. The system has separate / and /home partitions, and the / partition is 15GB, yet "No space left on device" was suggested as the likely cause. There are many dozens of old kernels.
At the very least, the error message "No space left on device" should be augmented with "or inode shortage". But this will not solve the problem for non-technical users. 12.04 LTS is supposed to be supported for more than 2 years yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089195 Title: linux-headers will eat your inodes on LTS.
