Hi All,
Can I get rid on any of these? All the non fc38 ones? All of them?
# ls -al /usr/src/kernels total 44 drwxr-xr-x. 11 root root 4096 Aug 26 16:05 . drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 4096 Jan 18 2023 .. drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Dec 10 2022 5.18.10-200.fc36.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 24 root root 4096 Jul 6 21:48 6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 24 root root 4096 Dec 10 2022 6.0.12-200.fc36.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Jul 6 21:48 6.2.12-200.fc37.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Jul 6 21:48 6.3.12-100.fc37.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Jul 6 21:48 6.3.8-100.fc37.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Aug 26 16:05 6.4.10-200.fc38.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Aug 26 16:05 6.4.11-200.fc38.x86_64 drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Aug 26 16:04 6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64
Had modified my cleanmodules2 to cleanmodule3 to compare directories with kernels in /boot
cat cleanmodules3 #!/bin/bash ls -1 | grep x86_64>x1 y=$(ls -1 /boot/vmlinuz* | grep -v rescue| cut -b15-100) for a in $y; do grep -v $a <x1 >x2; mv x2 x1; done for a in $(cat x1); do echo "$a"; rm ./"$a"/* -f -r; rmdir "$a"; done rm x1
gets a listing of directorys in the /lib/modules or could do in the /usr/src/kernels directory The it sets $y to be the current kernels from /boot Then removes the current ones from listing in file x1 Then removes file and directories that are not those.
My /usr/src/kernels only have the latest 3. In modules directory, I had a special module for a USB wifi card that I had to build since Fedora wasn't seeing the adapter with native ones. But didn't have any left over source directories.
For me running script seems to work in either directory. created an older directory in both and run script from within each directory, and it removed the ones not list in /boot as kernels. But would recommand doing a backup of files before testing.
If someone knows of better way to accomplish the same. Seems there should be a better method, but it seems to work.
Many thanks, -T _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
