Hi,
My /boot partition is 512MB, which in F39 was more than ample for 5
kernels and a rescue image, but in F40 that partition is now to small
for a new rescue image to be created when a new kernel is installed. The
rescue image in F40 seems to be around 102MB in size which is more that
double the size of any kernel, I don't know what size it was in F39.
That is normal. It contains all the kernel modules, so it is much
bigger. And it's the initramfs, not kernel. The kernel is the same size.
I've tried dropping the number of kernels retained to 4, but that
still produces out of space conditions on new kernel installs with the
rescue image.
Is F40 now rebuilding the rescue image where F39 didn't?
The rescue kernel is always rebuilt if you delete the old one. There's
a setting somewhere to stop that.
If I drop back to retaining only 3 kernels will that provide enough free
space, currently /boot is using 360.2MB with 88MB free of the 512MB
partition?
My /boot is about 350MB with 3 kernels and the rescue.
Is F40 really that much bigger the F39 that the /boot partition size,
which I have always used across multiple Fedora versions, is no longer
big enough to handle what F40 does relative to kernels?
My latest F40 initramfs is actually smaller than the previous one and
the F39 one.
I have my /boot partition on an SSD. I could run gparted to resize the
boot partition by resizing the Windows drive C partition which is on the
disk before it (a 512MB /boot partition for Ubuntu is immediately after
the Fedora partition), but I don't really want to change the size of the
Windows partition?
512MB is enough for the default 3 kernels. Why do you need more than that?
