ClearOS 7.x: What is the size of your /boot partition?

Resolved
0 votes
Hi All,

I've hit an issue with /boot. I think it is being set up unsafely small in 7.x but I can't remember if I set the size of mine manually or let the installer decide.

Please can you let me know the size of /boot (normally /dev/sda1 - use "df -h")? Also what is file system type (from the command "mount", probably xfs, lvm or some form of ext) and can you remember if you set it manually or did you let the installer set it?

TIA,

Nick

    Thanks, Patrick. I must have scored an own-goal manually partitioning to the ClearOS 6 size. Fortunately I was able to move the partitions to grow sda1 so I'm ok now and don't need to file a bug.

    Hi Nick,

    I've installed ClearOS7 used the default settings:

    df -h

    indeed, well spotted! 


    
df --help
    
Usage: df [OPTION]... [FILE]...
    
Show information about the file system on which each FILE resides,
    
or all file systems by default.
    

    
-T, --print-type --> print file system type
    

    
-h, --human-readable --> print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

    Oh well, if that is default then I must have set mine manually to 200MB (which is bigger than the ClearOS 5.x and possibly 6.x default), but not big enough for 7.x to be safe. The original kernel + 2 updates blew my 200MB and left the system unbootable. I increased it to 500MB yesterday.

    Thanks.

    P.S. seeing your command, "df -Th" becomes an all-in-one solution! I did not know "df -T".

    This is a default installation thus I the installer did the work.
