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

            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
                Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
                udev            231M   12K  231M   1% /dev
                tmpfs            49M  400K   48M   1% /run
                /dev/dm-0        49G   14G   33G  29% /
                none            4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
                none            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
                none            242M     0  242M   0% /run/shm
                none            100M     0  100M   0% /run/user
                /dev/sda1       228M   97M  120M  45% /boot
                

                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.
