Hello,

I tried to upgrade system firmware:

Code:

fwupdmgr update

 • UEFI dbx

/run/media/root/DBE7-004F does not have sufficient space, required 33.6 MB, got 27.5 MB


How can I increase size of /run/media/root/? It is not in the fstab.

Thank you,

Petr

Plz run
Code:

df -h /run
and
mount | grep "/run"

and check available space for your "/run" partition.
It is probably a tmpfs

petr2008,

/run/ is supposed to be a tiny tmpfs filesystem where the system stores its dynamic state.
Unless something in media/root is mounted outside of /run this is an excellent example of doing it wrong.

As run is in tmpfs it ram be dynamically resized with
Code:
mount -o remount,size=100MB /run
use
Code:
df -h
to check thats where the problem is.
Its harmless anyway bun is a filesystem mounted further how the path is too small, it won't fix the problem.

The real fix is to use /tmp/media/root/DBE7-004F. /tmp is also tmpfs but its much bigger. Half RAM by default.
That is probably as upstream bug though.

Code:

df -h /run
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           3.2G  1.6M  3.2G   1% /run


Code:

mount | grep "/run"
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,size=3253504k,nr_inodes=819200,mode=755)
tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=1626748k,nr_inodes=406687,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000)
gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
portal on /run/user/1000/doc type fuse.portal (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
/dev/sda2 on /run/media/root/DBE7-004F type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)


However:

Code:

df -h /dev/sda2
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2       188M  161M   27M  86% /run/media/root/DBE7-004F


It seems that fwupdmgr uses small boot partition. In fstab I have

Code:

UUID="DBE7-004F"      /boot      vfat      noauto,noatime   1 2


It is strange because I did not mount it myself. It had to be mounted by fwupdmgr.

So if I delete some old kernels, it may work.

It was the case.
I have new firmware.
When fwupdmgr is not used, /run/media/root/DBE7-004F is not mounted.
Thank you for help.
