/boot Full after Upgrade to 19.10

in Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓

I have just upgraded an ODA X7-2M from 19.9 to 19.10 and the /boot filesytem is now 99% full.

It grew 120MB in the upgrade from 19.9 to 19.10.

Now I need to upgrade an X6-2L from 19.9 to 19.10 and /boot has less than 100MB free before I start.

Both these servers have a long patching history and /boot looks to be full of old remnants of old kernels etc.

I've seen some posts about how to remove old kernels but there looks to be other detritus in the directory.

e.g. there is a large file called initramfs-redhat-upgrade-tool.img that I suspect was a part of the OL6 to OL7 upgrade during 19.6.

Howdy, Stranger!
