Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Ubuntu with the default LVM encryption recipe
2) Set Ubuntu to automatically install security updates on the background
3) Use ubuntu for 5 months
Actual results:
The system automatically installs security updates for the kernel under /boot.
It's never removes previous kernel images. After about five months, the /boot
partition created by the install recipe (i.e. sized according to the judgment
of Ubuntu developers—not me) fills up and the unattended updater crashes during
the next kernel update.
Expected results:
Expected the unattended updater to leave the nearest kernel and the previous
one on /boot and to automatically remove older kernel images. Expected the
system installer to set up /boot such that it never runs out of space when the
system updater operates automatically.
