[opensuse-support] lots of old initrd/config/vmlinuz in /boot
Hi, while checking the diskspace I found tons of fragements from pld kernels - back int the 4.18.x day in /boot. Should there not be a regular job that purges old kernels (and what belons to it)?

Yes, there are. First question is, what openSUSE release are you using? cat /etc/os-release -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

1) You can check if a file belongs to any package by running "rpm -q -f /path/to/file". Files not owned should be safe to remove. 2) There is a script "/sbin/purge-kernels", which should be launched automatically.

late to the table, but if the problem is root file space, that many "installed" kernels are utilizing a *great* amount of file space. So perhapes the snapshots are not your problem. If file space is not the problem, excuse me for jumping in late. and they are *indeed* installed or your rpmdb is sorely out of touch with your system and in need of repair. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Whatever's going wrong with purge-kernels.service, here's a simple enough workaround: zypper al kernel-default-5.2.8 zypper al kernel-default-5.2.9 zypper rm kernel-def* zypper rl kernel-default-5.2.8 zypper rl kernel-default-5.2.9 zypper should then remove all kernels except upon reaching 5.2.8 it will ask what to do about the lock, and you will answer 2 to keep installed. Answer 2 also with 5.2.9. Result should be you have only those two kernels installed. If space is a problem and zypper refuses to behave, remove oldest kernel first using rpm -e, then try again the others with purge-kernels or zypper. Possibly running rpmdb --rebuilddb is first needed to account for the error message about 4.18.7-1.5. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Indeed. Nearly all old kernels got removed, and I get now (after a zypper dup and reboot) T520:/home/docb # rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort kernel-default-4.18.7-1.5.x86_64 kernel-default-5.2.10-1.2.x86_64 kernel-firmware-20190815-1.1.noarch The 4.18.7 could only be removed after a rebuild of the rpm-database, and now there is some more space left on the device Thanks to all for your help!
