So, I just made a brand new vm installation of Ubuntu 20.04 under vmWare 7.
Everything is fine, but I can't apt-get upgrade the linux-firmware package:
Unpacking linux-firmware (1.187.15) over (1.187.9) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-firmware_1.187.15_all.deb (--unpack):
cannot copy extracted data for
'./lib/firmware/netronome/flower/nic_AMDA0099.nffw' to
'/lib/firmware/netronome/flower/nic_AMDA0099.nffw.dpkg-new': failed to
write (No space left on device)
Now, the error seems to be too little space on /lib, which is weird, as I specifically resized / to be 8G after the first attempt (had 2GB initially). Here is a list of my filesystems, which I admit, is a bit more detailed than usual (I like LVM):
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/main-root--lv--0 7.9G 15M 7.5G 1% /
/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-n9 2.0G 1.6G 264M 86% /usr
/dev/sda2 469M 104M 331M 24% /boot
/dev/mapper/main-tmp--lv--0 976M 2.6M 907M 1% /tmp
/dev/mapper/main-data--lv--0 2.9G 20M 2.8G 1% /srv
/dev/mapper/main-var--lv--0 5.9G 419M 5.2G 8% /var
The likely culprit is probably /boot at only 500M total, could that be right? Or maybe there is some other problem? And would there be another way to salvage this apart from reinstalling from scratch?
Ideas appreciated.
