ubuntu下boot分区空间不足解决办法

2019独角兽企业重金招聘Python工程师标准>>>

很多同学都是在自己的机器上安装双系统，也就是说用来装linux的空间不会很多。在装的过程中都喜欢把boot挂单独挂分区，一般设置100M，

可随着linux升级，往往会攒下好几个内核，某一天系统会提示你升级失败，空间不足了。。。

更改boot分区大大小不晓得可不可以做到，貌似linux下还没有无损分区的概念。

既然已经知道是boot空间不足了，那首先我们看看里面都有神马东西！！

expired@expired:~$ ls /boot

abi-2.6.35-25-generic memtest86+.bin

abi-2.6.35-27-generic memtest86+_multiboot.bin

abi-2.6.35-28-generic System.map-2.6.35-25-generic

config-2.6.35-25-generic System.map-2.6.35-27-generic

config-2.6.35-27-generic System.map-2.6.35-28-generic

config-2.6.35-28-generic vmcoreinfo-2.6.35-25-generic

grub vmcoreinfo-2.6.35-27-generic

initrd.img-2.6.35-25-generic vmcoreinfo-2.6.35-28-generic

initrd.img-2.6.35-27-generic vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic

initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic vmlinuz-2.6.35-27-generic

lost+found vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic

我们可以看到都是一些内核启动文件，很明显有些是我们不需要的，其实以上都还是我已经卸载了俩比较老的内核的情况了，没商量，不需要的就当垃圾处理掉。

首先请用uname -a看下自己当前启动的是哪个内核。

expired@expired:~$ uname -a

Linux expired 2.6.35-28-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 14:39:03 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

从中可以看到我此刻启动的是2.6.35-28-generic，再用dpkg命令看下你的机器上都有哪些内核文件。

expired@expired:~$ dpkg --get-selections |grep linux-image

linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic deinstall

linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic deinstall

linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic install

linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic install

linux-image-2.6.35-28-generic install

linux-image-generic install

不少，理论上除正在用的都可以删除，但刚升级的东西可能不稳定，为保险起见，保留1-2个之前版本吧。

运行apt-get remove命令卸载不需要的内核。

expired@expired:~$ sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic

The following packages will be REMOVED:

linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After this operation, 139MB disk space will be freed.

出现以上提示问是否继续，按y或者直接回车继续。完成后会有如下提示：

DKMS: uninstall Completed.

现在的ubuntu会自动重建启动菜单grub.cfg，所以就一步到位了。卸载完后可以用df命令看下boot分区的空间使用情况。

expired@expired:~$ df

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/sda9 19223252 9429624 8817144 52% /

/dev/sda7 93207 53279 35116 61% /boot

ok，已经腾出35m空间了，现在可以运行sudo apt-get upgrade升级了。

再用dpkg看下还剩什么东西。

expired@expired:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image

linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic deinstall

linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic install

linux-image-2.6.35-28-generic install

linux-image-generic install

linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic 显示deinstall，表示已经删除，也许你觉得留着这个也不好看，那就试试下面的命令：

expired@expired:~$sudo dpkg -P linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic

run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub 2.6.35-25-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic

呵呵，其实打一开始就可以用purge这个参数一步到位地卸载，即：
expired@expired:~$sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-26-generic

因为之前已经remove过了，所以只留下个配置在数据库记录中，再purge时无空间释放。

0 B of additional disk space will be used

再次看下运行后的结果
expired@expired:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image

linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic install
linux-image-generic install

expired@expired:~$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image

ii linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic 3.2.0-32.51 Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-generic 3.2.0.32.35 Generic Linux kernel image

ok，刚才的残留已经删除了。
