So I've been having some trouble installing updates lately because my boot partition has run out of space. I did some research to try and find the best way to expand the partition, but after looking at gparted, I'm not sure if it's possible for me to do it without reformatting everything.


Since I can't post pictures here's a little description of what I've got going on on /dev/sda:


Partition - File System - Mount Point - Size - Used - Flags



/dev/sda1------ext4--------------/boot---------94MB - 94MB - boot


/dev/sda2---extended---------------------- 465.67GB



/dev/sda5-----ext4------------/home----465.67GB - 66GB -



unallocated-1.02MB



Just as an aside, my / partition is installed on the ssd portion of the hybrid drive.


Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why not clean up /boot instead of growing it? Simply remove older kernel packages you don't need anymore.
