How can I increase the size of my boot partition after installing Fedora?
Asked by

I recently installed Fedora and I'm really enjoying it! However, I might have made a mistake with my boot partition size. Initially, I set it to 1GB based on older recommendations, but I've noticed that it's filling up quickly. The updated guidance suggests a 2GB partition, and I want to avoid running out of space. I'm considering copying everything from the boot partition to an external drive, booting from a Fedora live USB, deleting my current boot partition, creating a new one that's 2GB, and then restoring the contents from the external drive. Is this plan sound, or could it cause issues?

The recommendation for a larger boot partition is mainly to future-proof your setup. You don't necessarily need to resize it yet, but keep an eye on it. If you’re seeing a lot of updates and new kernels, then it might be worth the change soon.

First off, what’s actually consuming space in your boot partition? Usually, 1GB should be enough unless there’s something unusual happening. You might want to check for old kernels or other files taking up space.
