#449 Issue closed: Extend /boot FS in suse by Rear

Labels: support / question

avinash4any1 opened issue at 2014-08-11 12:00:

Hi,

Kindly let me know if there is any way for extending the /boot File system in Suse by using Rear.
We have very low space in /boot fs, due to this we are unable to perform the suse Upgrade. Kindly help us out.

rear is a disaster recovery tool - if you clone your disk to another system you might be able to increase the /boot partition size

If you have a working ReaR setup then you can probably tweak the disklayout
info on the recovery media to recover the system with a different /boot
size.

You could also extend ReaR to initially record a tweaked disklayout if
/boot is too small. I think that we could accept a patch from you with such
a function if it is an optional feature.
