Ok, so this is a weird one. After I upgraded to 18.04 I was constantly running out of space on /boot... I couldn't have more than two kernels installed at a time and I needed to autoremove/autoclean before every kernel upgrade.
So I did some digging and found that my EFI partition was 500Mb and my boot partition only 250Mb. This makes NO sense... of course when my system was originally set up (when I installed 16.04) these values were reversed. I mean they had to have been as I could have like 4 kernels at a time on my old install. I solved the problem by resizing the drives as outlined in my blog post here, but I am wondering:
Did the upgrade to 18.04 swap my EFI and Boot partitions for some reason? Is this possible? Is this happening to anyone else???
Now that I have fixed it, my relevant df looks like this:
/dev/sda2 667M 333M 300M 53% /boot
/dev/sda1 104M 8.4M 95M 9% /boot/efi
On my original install I did not do "something else" and let Ubuntu install do its thang. There is no reason to create a 500mb efi partition and I am assuming the auto partition install would not do so.
If my EFI drive was originally sda2 (is this even possible?) maybe the upgrade wanted to put EFI on starting partition?
I am curious to hear any and all thoughts/opinions on what is going here. At first I thought I was going crazy, but then I remembered that I went there a long time ago... please comment on this matter! Thanks!
