I have 4 kernels in /boot, leaving on 20MB which is not enough for the next one. I had installonly_limit= set at 5, as there were some kernel problems.? After I got the error that there was not enough room for another kernel, I set installonly_limit= to 3 and did the update with --exclude=kernel* That worked to update everything else, but not remove the oldest kernel. How can I remove the

Hello CentOS users, in the recent time I keep getting the logwatch warnings from my 2 dedicated servers running CentOS 7.4.1708. I guess because of the numerous kernel updates (because of Spectre+Meltdown) in the near past? Could someone please suggest me, which files in my /boot partition would be safe to delete? I would like to avoid the situation of having to boot the rescue partiton etc.

..., some people have '2' - don't put it at '1' because then you'll not be able to use an old version to boot in to in emergency. The package yum-utils has the package-cleanup command to deal with various yum issues, including sorting out old kernels. Do package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=3 to clean everything to do with old kernels leaving 3 versions on your system. P.

Hi Some time ago there was a discussion on the above subject. I have scanned the past few month's mailing list archives and cannot find the relevant mail(s). Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource. I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date. Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd

I've recently had this problem on two C7 systems, wherein when doing "yum update", I get a warning about /boot being low on space. both systems were installed using the partition size recommended by Anaconda, right now "df -h" shows /boot as 494M, with 79M free. I don't store unrelated crap on /boot, I assume that yum and/or grub will manage it for me. So, why, after

I have the following kernels on my /boot: 2.6.18-128.1.6 2.6.18-92.1.18 2.6.18-92.1.22 I'm low on /boot space and need to remove the oldest version. It appears that I cannot use yum to remove since all of the versions are the same (only the release is different). I believe that I can use rpm to remove the old version, but I also need to remove them from the grub.conf. Any other

First off - let me say I am not an administrator.?? I need to know?if there is an easy way to increase my /boot partition.? When I installed CentOS 6 after running 5, it was my oversight not to increase the /boot size.? it's too small and I can't do yum updates. if it's not easy to actually increase it, is it safe to take a chunk in my root filesystem (like /new.boot or something) and
