Boot File too large?
-
It seems our system had been functioning fine, but no longer will provide PXE booting or any services. Logging into the system through Hyper-V only shows an error pertaining to the boot drive out of space. And I haven’t been able to fix this error.
Is this something that would prevent FOG from operating? Any good advice on fixing it?

What OS are you running?
/boot is likely out of space, as you described.
Knowing the OS FOG is running on would be extremely helpful.
-
FOG Version: 1.4.0
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 as a VM on a Windows 2012r2 Server
2012r2 server functions as DC, AD DS, DNS, DHCP -
@biologyben Try these instructions:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/89710/how-do-i-free-up-more-space-in-boot
In particular, do not remove the kernel that is output from
uname -rm -
kernelver=$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-[a-z]+//') dpkg -l linux-{image,headers}-"[0-9]*" | awk '/ii/{print $2}' | grep -ve $kernelverAnd if you really want to get fancy:
sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l linux-{image,headers}-"[0-9]*" | awk '/ii/{print $2}' | grep -ve "$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-[a-z]+//')") -
Running your ‘fancy’ command now - I’ll update when it’s finished.
Also, any way to expand the boot partition or automagically remove the old files and solve this for good?
-
On Ubuntu/Debian, a simple
apt-get -y autoclean;apt-get -y autoremoveis cleaner and will get more junk out. -
It took forever, but the command finished. Afterwards, the system indicated that updates were needed and those were installed. No error about no space on the /boot partition!
Unfortunately, after reboot, Still get an http 500 error when browsing to the ipaddress/fog

@BiologyBen Check
/var/log/apache2/error.logon the FOG server and post here. -

@biologyben said in Boot File too large?:
Version: 1.4.0 Installer/Updater
Why not at least going with the latest official release that is 1.4.4??
-
The instructions indicated to rerun the installer. I had the installer on the system from the original install.
I have did not know if downloading and installing the newest version would cause any issues, if Fog 1.4.0 needed to be uninstalled first, etc. Just following the instructions as written - ‘rerun the Fog Installer’
-
So I continued on in the instruction and ran the code to make changes to the MYSQL root user entries which ultimately fixed the issue - I have the management console back! Thank you!
So should I update to 1.4.4? Should I allow Ubuntu to update? Or leave well enough alone?
-
@BiologyBen Sorry, should have told you that this is for the later versions of the installer. This was probably not fixed in 1.4.0 yet. So please follow the detailed instructions:
The “fix” if you must do it manually is to open a terminal and obtain root:
…Still I wonder why your installer is failing on so many packets. Did FOG ever work for you? Maybe the autocleanup did mess things up, although it’s very unlikely.

Well that’s up to you. I myself would not want to have an unpatched server OS running in my network for too long. On the other hand you might need to get you hands dirty to get things up for 1.4.4 from what we just saw when you can the old installer script. Could be fine as well but we don’t know before you try. Up to you.
PS: I am off for today and won’t be able to help on short notice. But I guess others are around and will give you a hand in case.
-
Thank you for your help - I’m going to take this first fix and get some machines reimaged before tackling the updates after all the clients are taken care of.
Very much appreciate it!
-
@BiologyBen Ok, I’ll mark this solved then. Please open a fresh post for when you tackle the update and run into an issue.
