Really liking opensuse – was using gentoo and others for some time.
My problem is I’ve run out of space on /boot.
I installed the default lvm partitions using the KDE CD (11.1) – I assumed size wouldn’t be a problem – should have checked, 70mb is a bit small. And have xen installed.
I’m new to lvm but reading the docs to extend a volume you do:
lvextend -L1G /dev/myvg/homevol
so under suse I assume its /dev/system/boot
but there is no boot only home, root & swap.
I guess boot is under root but df shows /boot mounted on /dev/sdb1 as it does in /etc/fstab…so I’m a bit confused how things are setup?
Can I do something like???:
lvextend -L1G /dev/sdb1
I’m guessing not…so is there a way to increase the size of /boot with lvm?
Was also looking at moving /boot to another partition but playing around with grub seemed a bit risky and wasn’t certain how changes to fstab and grub would go under suse & lvm.
Also tried moving and resizing partitions with gpart/pmagic but no support for lvm so couldn’t move /dev/sdb2. (/dev/sdb1 could be seen.)
My other short term option would be to delete some files from /boot.
my current kernel is 2.6.27.21-0.1-default and I want to keep the xen kernel but what files can i safely delete from /boot, is it ok to delete the old kernels and is there any files I can delete related to the current kernel?
