clean /boot partition

[informant]

Hi all,

my boot partition is full, how can i clean it correctly? only delete old files or does proxmox has a command for clean?

i have found this, but this command does clean updated kernel versions they are not activate well server was not restartet or?

apt-get remove $(dpkg -l | egrep  '^ii  (pve-)?kernel-' | awk '{print $2}' | grep -v `uname -r`)

best regards

Hi,

I would do this manually because you should have at minimum 2 running kernel versions on your host.
If something goes wrong you can use the other kernel to boot.

Hi wolfgang,

thanks for answer.
how do i correct remove the old versions and let only 2 of last kernels?

apt-get remove pve-kernel-<version> you what remove.
and also the headers if they are installed.
apt-get remove pve-headers-<version> you what remove.

after this check, if you have still 2 kernels installed

ls -hl /boot/

the output must include for each version config-<version>-pve
initrd.img-<version>-pve
System.<version>-pve
vmlinuz-<version>-pve

Try if

apt-get autoremove

manages to remove those extra kernels.

hi apt-get autoremove do not remove/purge old kernel.... only manual apt-get remove --purge pve-kernel.. works here, i look for a option to rmeove old kernels with one command and 2 last kernels are stay.
