Tried yum clean packages

It results in same issue (Packages gets downloaded again)

What can be done?
Title: Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
Post by: Starburst on September 08, 2025, 09:53:59 AM: EL8 is in it's Security Only update phase.

When running update under EL8 and after should be:
Code: [Select]
dnf --refresh update
In other words, if there is no security fix to a package, then you won't see any updates.

EL8 covers RHEL 8, AlmaLinux 8, Rocky 8, any EL8 clone.

One reason why we've only brought EL9 servers online for awhile, even with the small amount of CWP bugs.

Unfortunately one of them is resource control. They changed how it worked from under EL7/EL8.
But for out clients, that's not a big deal.
Neither is anything under PHP 7.4

My /boot is 96% full

Disk Requirements:
At least 28MB more space needed on the /boot filesystem.
Title: Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
Post by: overseer on September 08, 2025, 12:38:22 PM: Yes, 20% free disk space is a good operating rule of thumb. I would clear large files, particularly ballooning log files:

Title: Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
Post by: Starburst on September 08, 2025, 07:01:34 PM: The /boot is usually filled with too many Kernel versions.

Simple way to clean that partition up is with:
Code: [Select]
dnf remove --oldinstallonly --setopt installonly_limit=5 kernel
The above example will limit it to the current and 4 past kernels.
Title: Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
Post by: overseer on September 08, 2025, 09:01:13 PM: On a production server, I usually only keep 2-3 kernels (usually 2 -- I am stingy).

On a production server, I usually only keep 2-3 kernels (usually 2 -- I am stingy).

I use to keep 3, but depending on the size of /boot, 3-4 seems to be the sweet spot.

(At least that's what she said)...
Title: Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
Post by: anandmys on September 10, 2025, 11:17:14 AM: I have tried

dnf remove --oldinstallonly --setopt installonly_limit=2 kernel

Earlier it was 3

Problem not yet resolved

Allocated space for /boot is 200M

How to increase it? is cfdisk safe? There seems to be no unallocated space left

I need to first reduce size of / which has 598G (497G free)
Title: Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
Post by: overseer on September 10, 2025, 12:45:09 PM: Wow, that's small. I have 1GB for /boot on my server:
Code: [Select]
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 1014M 283M 732M 28% /bootDo a full backup before proceeding. Tread lightly!

You would probably need to use GParted (or another similar tool) to resize the partition, as long as the partition is not mounted (so ideally using a GParted Live boot media). The main concern in this case would be another partition located immediately after the /boot partition, which would have to be shrunk in size. This could take a long time if the starting point of the partition needs to be shifted. (Repeat: always make a backup before modifying partitions that contain important data...)
Title: Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
Post by: Starburst on September 10, 2025, 06:44:31 PM: Agreed, be careful, because you are going to have to reduce the size of another partition to make free space to expand /boot.

/boot should be about 1024MB
So should /boot/efi, if your server has that enabled.

If you used Automatic partitioning, you should have been OK.
Most images I've seen have had enough space as well.
