Upgrade error - zstd: error 70 : Write error : cannot write block : No space left on device

[Peter S]

Hi All,

Since a few months I'm a very happy user of Proxmox.
The only thing at the moment is that I'm always having an issue with upgrading the PVE kernel.
"zstd: error 70 : Write error : cannot write block : No space left on device"

So, during setup of the system, I had to choose a larger boot partition.....
Can I decrease the size of "nvme1n1p3" with 1 GB and add the 1 GB to "nvme1n1p2"?
If yes, how....using lvextend and/or parted?

xyz@xyz:/boot$ uname -a

Hi,

what does pveversion -v report?
You probably have (a lot of) old kernels installed, which do not get automatically removed during/after an upgrade for various reason (e.g. booting an old kernel in case a newer one doesn't work).

I'd suggest simply removing some of them, that should clear space on your boot partition. 512MiB-1GiB is normally more than enough for at least 4-5 kernel.
