Description

Observation

[04/09/2020 14:45:11] <Martchus_> I'm currently having a look at o3's almost full root partition. Can I clean up old kernel versions (e.g. only leaving the 2 most recent versions)? I would also like to get rid of the zypper cache and old log files. These are the main culprits according to ncdu.
…
[04/09/2020 14:49:52] <okurz> Martchus: regarding kernel versions the problem is that o3 is not having recurring automatic reboots. We have that on osd by now for the same reason: To boot the most recent kernel version and allow older versions to be pruned.

Problem

  • Kernel updates are not used
  • Disk space is taken up by accumulating kernel( package)s

Suggestion

  • Enable automatic pruning of kernels on o3
  • Investigate if we can automatically reboot o3
  • Look at the setup used on osd

Workaround

  • Delete old kernels and reboot manually
