Low space on boot
Hi, lately I'm getting frequent error mssg " Low space on boot" but when I check on the properties it shows that it has 603mb free of 973mb used (38% used)
Why am i getting this mssg? How do i remove & get a healthy space? I'm using Fedora 37 with partition 10.9Gb free of 72Gb (85% used) Thanks |
usually /boot is another partition. Would be nice to give us more details, like the output of fdisk -l and mount.

F37 with which DE? What utility is producing this warning? Low space on boot isn't necessarily the same as on /boot. Is this a UEFI installation with ESP filesystem on /boot/efi/? Does /boot have a separate filesystem mounted on it? Command output from such commands as df, lsblk -f, mount and cat /etc/fstab might help us help you. I would not expect any warning about a filesystem with only 38% used no matter what the filesystem type or its use or size. All that said, installed size of kernels in current distributions has gotten quite swollen. A separate /boot filesystem may require more space than you would expect. It's possible to configure keeping more installed kernels than can fit on a separate /boot filesystem of modest size. How many do you now have installed?

Sorry for the delay, been out of town and I am unable to proceed with the any feedback as my Fedora37 has been unstable, is constantly buffering and hang so frequently. My ethernet land cable port can only accessed with speed of only around "0.5mbs" instead of the normal 45mbs (data subscribed plan is 50mbs). While my windows 10 desktop (dual boot) is able to accessed upto 45mbs without any buffering. Every apps takes longer than usual to boot and some not boot at all. Do I have to reinstall Fedora? Thanks |
Before you do that, it might be a good idea to dig into this problem a little more deeply.
You might take a look at the log files, particularly /var/log/boot.log. They may give you some hints as to what's going wrong. |

On your login screen, is there an option to boot some other desktop or session type than the one you normally use? Fedora defaults to GDM/Gnome/Wayland. If that's the case, try using Xorg instead of Wayland, or using IcwWM instead of Gnome, to see if this improves the stability.

could not be loaded as it was not possible to read from it.Check if you have read access to this file. On xfce terminal- I have accessed as root but the error is permission denied. where did I go wrong? |

Yet on windows 10 OS, the same ethernet port is functioning normal. thanks |
that means the driver on windows is installed and works and on linux it is somehow failed. I would check the logs ....

Post the output of the command:
inxi -N or if inxi is not installed the output of lspci | grep Ethernet |
Try the command
bootctl (and man bootctl) ;) |

Probably after I have upgraded from Fedora 36 to 37 then problems occured. |

I have tried everyone mostly has an impressive speed increase upto 30-52mbps. Unfortunately everyone of them has lagged, buffering and screen freezes problem so much so that I have to consider switching to alternatives I have yet to try IcwWM and follow-up on this. |
All good here, and with less freespace than OP has:
Code:
# df -h / |
