Hello,

I'm new on this forum.

I just have a quick question. After many updates on PVE my /boot increasing at +90% used space with many files likes this :

root@xxxxx:/boot# ls -lia
total 150796
2 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 3072 Jan 9 07:59 .
2 drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Jan 3 2018 ..

27 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8439664 Nov 15 2018 vmlinuz-4.15.18-9-pve


I know that i have to clean it manually but i would like to ensure that for each cleaning i can delete :

  • config-xxxx files
  • initrd.img-xxxx files
  • System.map-xxxx files (i wonder about this kind of files)
  • vmlinuz-xxxx files
for each no more used version. (i ran previously a uname -r to know which is the version used by the system).

Thanks
