#RASPBERRY PI CREATE BOOT PARTITION UPDATE#

It would be a perfectly valid answer to say, 'There is no obvious reason why this or that approach should not work. (Naturally I could just try one of these, but it's taken a good bit of time to get to this point I'd hate to have to start over. If resizing /boot is impractical, can this procedure be followed safely on this platform to merge /boot into /? Or is there a need to activate experimental USB boot support to solve this problem? What is the best procedure for doing this on the Raspberry Pi + Ubuntu MATE platform? If this is near the minimum /boot partition occupancy, I guess the next thing would be to resize the /boot partition. rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3906116 start_x.elf rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4956996 start_db.elf rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 634532 start_cd.elf rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1494 LICENCE.broadcom rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4130008 kernel.img rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4231256 kernel7.img rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18693 COPYING.linuxĭrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 8192 maí 21 05:22 grub

#RASPBERRY PI CREATE BOOT PARTITION UPDATE#

Just today there is a security update that requires something under 50MB of space in /boot, which should be no big deal, but the partition is just barely too small. After encountering two annoying issues I have things basically working, but now it's time for regular package upgrades and it seems the /boot partition is too small. I'm testing it out to see if I can rely on it as a primary home computer. I just installed Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 on my Raspberry Pi 3, which is the offered version on the official site.
