Source: partman-auto Version: 144 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: vorlon@debian.org Hello, I get lots of user feedback from Ubuntu users that /boot is "too small" and quickly becomes full. That's been the case for at least 3 years. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1357093 There are a few aspects to this: 1. if a user chooses full-disk encryption, the size of /boot is not adjustable; only by manually creating that, dm-crypt and LVM instead, but that's not easy. 2. it's really painful to enlarge /boot once a dm-crypt partition is created alongside it and filled with user data. 3. users of Software Center / Synaptic install kernel upgrades, but usually aren't that aware that old, unneeded kernels remain installed; the GUIs have no autoremove function, and autoremove can sometimes remove things a novice user didn't intend. Some aspects are Ubuntu-specific: 4. they bump the ABI number in every kernel update, IIRC something related to the signing machinery for Secure Boot. (vorlon@ in Cc can maybe explain?) 5. they store both signed and unsigned kernel images in /boot, so each installed kernel ABI version requires more disk space. Thinking ahead, the latter two points might also apply to Debian someday. The kernel itself and initrds may also become bigger over the next years. If that happens, and users have an installed system with full-disk encryption, they may be unable to increase the size of /boot, and so be obstructed from upgrading to the next Debian (or Ubuntu) release, or the one after. That the actual, root causes persist in Ubuntu after 3 years, despite a huge install base, good user support channels and paid developers, is slightly sad, but makes me think it merits working around (or preemptive action in the case of Debian), even at the expense of 256MB disk space. So in recipes-amd64-efi, is it feasible we double the max. size of /boot from 256MB to 512MB? "640K ought to be enough for everyone." Thanks for consideration, Regards, -- Steven ChamberlainAttachment: signature.asc

Source: partman-auto Source-Version: 152 Done: Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of partman-auto, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive. A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to 893886@bugs.debian.org, and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

[ Julien Cristau ] * Bump /boot sizes in most recipes from between 128 and 256M to between 512 and 768M. As initramfs keep growing, and kernel ABI bumps keep happening, running out of space on /boot is unpleasant. Closes: #893886, 951709. * Import from Ubuntu: Introduce partman-auto/cap-ram, to allow capping RAM size as used for swap partition calculations. This allows us to cap the minimum size of swap partitions size to 1*CAP, and their maximum size to a maximum of 2 or 3*CAP depending on architecture. Default is set to 1024, thus capping swap partitions to between 1 and 3GB. LP: #1351267, closes: #949651, #950344. Patch from Dimitri John Ledkov.
