      Is this a problem started with the automatic security update feature of ubuntu? Is that option enabled on on this server?

        boy that didn't help much.

        oh it did. went from 100% used to just 70% used.

        That was after you started your manual cleanup, which took you to 75%, now the automated tools took you down to 70%, that's what I was talking about.

          The real question would be... why are you running Ubuntu if this is seen as a frustration? I realize in this case, Ubiquiti controllers more or less require it and that's a huge pain that they have introduced. But in general, just don't use it.

          Yep, this is why I use it.. Ubiquiti and XO.

          Same here.

            During the course of this yesterday - the sources.list file got wiped.

            Attempts to correct this resulted in more frustration so the VM was restored from back up and and running through this again.

            I have updated a process or two to include the needed commands.


            Currently space has been freed, the system updated, and autoremove is now running.

            Post

            sudo apt-get autoremove
            
            i:/boot$ df -h

            Which is better than yesterday.

                I never looked. Why is it only 228M?

                  Maybe it was imported as an appliance or something.

                  I have had some appliances (Graylog, I'm staring at you) that set up odd partition sizes that crippled the system quickly.

                    Ubuntu's default partitioning makes the boot partition really small. I usually go in and make it bigger when I install Ubuntu.

                      Here is what Ubuntu did on my UniFi controller. It has a 127GB vhdx because I was lazy and just clicked next through the VM creation wizard.

                        Ubuntu's default partitioning makes the boot partition really small. I usually go in and make it bigger when I install Ubuntu.

                        In the week or so since we discussed "Why CentOS and not Ubuntu" there are like 3 of these annoying types of things every day.

                              So I just tried to upgrade my UniFi controller since I noticed it was stuck on 16.04. Apparently when it upgraded from whatever previous version it was on, the release flag got set to only upgrade to the LTS line /sigh...

                              /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades was set to Prompt=lts

                              I changed it to Prompt=normal and then did the upgrade. Boom not enough space on /boot.

                                @JaredBusch When I upgraded to 16.10, it also disabled the unifi repos and I had to go in and enable them again.

                                  That is normal with ever distribution upgrade in unbuntu. i know and expect that. part of the upgrade process is to disable all 3rd party repos.

                                    @JaredBusch Good to know... this was the first time I upgraded a distro and didn't realize that would happen.

                                      This right here is hateful.

                                      New release available run this.

                                      Run that, and no release found ugh - but linux is so much the easy.

                                            I never bothered to check syntax, google told me to do this.

                                            bnaadmin@bnauc02:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d

                                            It worked.

                                            I'm not out to learn Ubuntu practices.
