I think Eike's point of view is "from the other end": / filling up makes /boot full and thus (possibly) disfunctional, preventing the next boot. I'm not sure about a concrete mechanism for that, but it would be annoying indeed, forcing you to either whip-up a rescue medium. (Remember: your only computer is currently refusing to boot, and you lent your last USB stick [1] to that nice friend yesterday evening) or surgically extracting your harddisk from your flimsy laptop to... drats, your only computer, etc. you get the idea ;-) Cheers [1] which, of course, had a current rescue system, because everyone has that :-) - t
