Will this affect current installs of Aurora? I see /boot is being upped in size.
My understanding based on bazzite (I’m currently on 43), and upstream Fedora atm is that the answer is no for current installations; as this change would require a backup of files and a re-installation of the system to avoid data loss. This change should only affect people doing new installations of 43.
You can read more about this here: Easy reinstall of Fedora (keeping home) isn't available with the default disk layout of Fedora 42 and older - Fedora Discussion
and the original proposal over here: F43 Emergency Change Proposal / Acceptance: 2G /boot partition (System-Wide Change) - Fedora Discussion
I would think personally there is less to worry about for now with the way atomic images are handled on universal blue…the whole concern is about holding on to old kernel files that keep taking up more and more space. Since these get regularly swept at set intervals…it might be a while before 1 gigabyte for /boot becomes insufficient.
Nonetheless it would be good to hear from those working on the project for plans in dealing with this in the future.
It won’t affect current installs, only new installs will get the bigger /boot.
Although not sure if its yet live on our ISOs, will have to check.
Thanks for the answers. I see that I have just under 500mb being used on that partition, with two bootable images present.
Curious to know why expanding the current /boot partition using a tool such as Gnome disks isn’t viable.
I’ll put aside concerns about it for now, to free me up over obsessing between deciding on Nvidia or AMD GPU’s. Always something…
