- I have OSMC on Raspberry Pi 3b
- and a 16 GB SD card
- the most space on this card is free
- ... except of boot partition
apt-get dist-upgradefails due to lack of free space on boot partitionapt-get autoremovedidn't find anything to remove
What would you do to get the things done?
P.S. After a reboot and repeated apt-get dist-upgrade execution the updater suddenly found that it should upgrade ... everything. Except vmlinuz kernel. As a result, OSMC boots and can watch videos, but I cannot log on over SSH anymore. Update SSH was just updated to stronger encryption. I had to get a new version of PuTTY.
Update
Using Win32DiskImager I restored the 16GB card backup to a 32GB card, checked that it boots, then inserted it into PC again and using Minitool Partition Wizard 7 performed two operations:
- Moved the last and largest 15GB partition (number 4) for 220 MB towards the end of SD card (Minitool Partition Wizard couldn't change ext4 partition size, so I only moved it as it is)
- and increased the boot partition (number 3) to 220 MB, making it 300 MB
After that I tried to boot and OSMC went into eternal boot loop with berry screen and suggestion to press Shift for recovery.
NOOBS recovery isn't actually a recovery, but is able only to overwrite everything on the card with initial OSMC installation.
So I owerwrote the garbled card contents with my backup. Now I am waiting for another variants to expand the boot partition.
