RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-10-16 16:09:18 UTC
Anaconda created my /boot as 500m by default.  I remember in the past fedora did that and it caused problems.  is it enough space, or should it get upped to 1024m.  Discuss and then WONTFIX if appropriate.

Comment 2 David Shea 2013-10-16 17:47:48 UTC
Fedora currently uses a 500MB /boot. The /boot size changes that have been made were 100MB -> 200MB for F11, since 100MB wasn't enough space anymore for kernels and initrds and such, and 200MB -> 500MB for F13, because preupgrade worked by downloading the full stage2 image into /boot.

fedup/rhelup uses the system's existing software to handle mounting storage, so the initrd it uses is much smaller and the preupgrade size requirement isn't a concern anymore. 500MB as default should be plenty for a while.
