I setup: /dev/sda1: boot@64MB Is 64MB a typo? I remember that was a recommended size something like 15 years ago, when kernels were very much smaller.
No... The one on my main machine has 235MB of files -- but that's with 24 kernels. I don't figure to be updating an appliance-type device as often.
On TW host gx62b I have 4 kernels installed. du -h /boot shows 235M consumed by /boot, or about 59MB (!?) per kernel not counting anything for bootloader files. Seems like even one installed kernel could conceivably not fit in a 64M boot filesystem given the larger size of initrds created at installation time. !!!! -- 4 kernels consuming 235M???
How? -- each of my kernels take from a low of 5.5 to a high of 7.0 MB each. Then I have System maps for each of those @ 2.8-3.3MB each, so say 8.3 - 10.3/kernel? AH!... it has to be the initrd's... sad, but I'd think those were mostly duplicated files (at least from same OS release). If you could combine them all so you would only be charged once for dup files ... I deal with that by having my "initrd" be my root drive. So only am using the ~10M/kernel. FWIW, on the rebuild, set it to 128MB. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
