Write English or German please?
now you report some apt output of a command you setup.
So what do you want to say?
Did you search the forum for more questions and answers?

Be sure to not have too small "/" and "/boot" partitions and clean them up when neccessary even check with "df -h" first before running "apt ...".

hello I tried on a cluster that I use in test , I performed the procedure that you indicated to me , but I think it gives error for the space on the esp mout ! This error also haunts me on the cluster in production on a node, I posted the error and every time I have to perform a procedure to delete the old kerneks in esp .

Anyway, here's the result on the test clster :

So you now purged the kernel packages that only had config files left (rc state).

Your EFI partition still has too many kernels installed though, preventing apt do make adjustments.
To solve that, you manually need to clear out the EFI partition. See for example:
D

Post in thread 'Unable to remove kernel'

Ok, too bad. In case you only want to keep the 7.0 kernels you can mount your efi partition and manually remove all the 6.x initrd.img and vmlinuz files there to make space so the apt process can complete.

mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/665C-E3E3 /mnt/efi
rm /mnt/efi/initrd.img-6*
rm /mnt/efi/vmlinuz-6*

Then do a check to see if the efi partition now actually has space with df -h /mnt/efi
And more elaborate: du -ah /mnt/efi to show all files on the efi partition and their sizes.

Then umount /mnt/efi and apt purge proxmox-kernel-6.* again.

If all...
  • Like
D

[SOLVED] Post in thread 'kernel update fail 6.14 to 7.0 no space left on device'

No, you apparently have 2 EFI partitions configured, probably a mirrored disk setup.

Mount both EFI partitions:
mkdir /mnt/efi1 /mnt/efi2
mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/A437-70EE /mnt/efi1
mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/A438-D2C2 /mnt/efi2

Remove the old 6.* kernels:
rm -rf /mnt/efi1/EFI/proxmox/6.*
rm -rf /mnt/efi2/EFI/proxmox/6.*

Umount the EFI partitions:
umount /mnt/efi1 /mnt/efi2
rm -rf /mnt/ef1 /mnt/efi2

Purge the 6.* packages:
apt purge proxmox-kernel-6.*

Try the update again:
apt dist-upgrade

dpkg -l | grep...
