Which setting has changed in initramfs-tools, so initrd images are now 
almost 4 times bigger than before?

 

tom@ideapada:/var/log/apt$ cd /boot
tom@ideapada:/boot$ ls -l initrd*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  60084701 Jun  4 17:37 initrd.img-6.8.12-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  60296117 Jul 11 22:21 initrd.img-6.9.8-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 238511041 Jul 19 09:48 initrd.img-6.9.9-amd64
tom@ideapada:/boot$ df -k /boot
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5         587464 392880    151576  73% /boot

 

/boot is followed by a lvm thing on a luks encrypted /dev/sda6.
There is no proper gui for getting the extra space for a bigger /boot.

Shrink the root fs, the lvm containing the root, shrink the crypted device 
and than move it to the right.

 

I have a lot of boxes set up with 600mb /boot partition.
For more than 15 years this was good enough.
