I wonder if your boot can fill up if you have too many versions of

That hasn't actually happened on my system, but I think it CAN happen if
/boot is a separate partition. I usually only keep 1 or 2 kernels
installed specifically to avoid that issue. This is one reason I was
thinking about putting /boot back on the / partition.

The answer is "yes" as I do keep a separate boot partition (out of old
habit) and yes I do have to go clean it out periodically. In Ubuntu,
the software updater informs one rather bluntly that a kernel upgrade is
not possible for lack of space however the system is not compromised. I
go clean out the boot partition save the last two or three and then do
the software update again. No big deal.
I recently upgraded a long time desktop system of mine from Ubuntu 10.4
to 14.4 (he who has had bad experience with Ubuntu upgrades) and was
thwarted in a subsequent update by a lack of inodes on the / file
system. I had to go clean out the /usr/src directory for all the old
linux headers that I no longer require. Not a space issue but inodes.
Learned a new twist on the df command: df -hi.
