Hi,

My FC2 /lib/modules now has 22 directories (from kernel 2.6.5 to 2.6.10 including SMP kernel), taking up a total of 950+MB of disk space. The "/" partition is only 1.2GB, and now low on disk space because of the kernel modules files in /lib/modules. When the next kernel update comes, it will definitely run out of space.

How can I free more space from /lib/modules? Can I just delete the old kernel modules files? Or yum uninstall? I have excluded kernel update in yum for the moment.

Please advice. Thank you very much.


Regards,
ZM
