[SOLVED] /lib/modules filling up hard drive

[cglmicro]

FYI all: I have made a large upgrade to the script as explained here:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lib-modules-filling-up-hard-drive.39199/post-294457

I have another server to replace, so I'll try your script again before formating it. Thanks for the update!

I tried the script and this is the result.

Try apt install sudo first.

If you can not understand the last line saying "sudo: command not found" you have a lot to learn. Have fun - and be careful! Before running arbitrary scripts as root make sure to have a (verified to work) backup.

@yamzvinz: As already stated you need to have sudo installed. Aside that if you don´t use the "-e" parameter the script will only work in "dry-mode", so it does not execute any action.

With four of my machines using kernel 6.8.8-4-pve dry-running the script is ok but if I execute the script it becomes unresponsive at the point when the screen pops up asking for updating grub (which I would answer NO, but it is unresponsive. I have to stop the script.

I aapreciate any ideas.

I have checked on my end and I can´t repro.
I am on 6.8.8-3 though.
What do your other machines run?

I have noticed that at some point the script took some time (likely because of slow storage answer times) but it then ran without any further issues.
Have you been patient enough?

 

[proxgp2mox]

The other machines are on the same version. I experienced such a possible latency never before.
I will keep an eye on it at the next kernel update.
