Howdy,
Debian is complaining that /boot is full and no wonder, it's only 488 MiB. I see some stuff I can remove, but I also want to resize the partition. other than a tiny /boot the rest is taken up by an LVM volume for my /home. I figured I'd split it up someday and LVM looked interesting.
Gparted let me shrink the LVM volume a bit to make a 1.5Gib space, but I can't seem to increase the /boot EXT2 partition with that free space.
KDE partition manager lets me resize the LVM partition but I also can't increase the size of /boot.
I'm thinking it's something about the LVM logical vs physical volumes.
What am I missing? I did all of this from live USBs of Fedora and Kubuntu and Pop! to see if it made a difference. There don't seem to be many GUI LVM tools but I worry I'm making some fundamental mistake because I've resized partitions for years without issue. Any help would be appreciated.
As a side note, why does KDE ppartition Manager think my big LVM volume is mostly full? It isn't even close, maybe 25% used.
Purge seemed like the way to go from my reading too. Several kernel versions in there that I think I could get rid of. It seems like a bad design to default to a tiny /boot but to let it fill up under six months of quite normal use.
