What size is recommended for the /boot partition? After doing a fresh install and lengthy backup restore I realized I only made it 200M. Is this going to be a problem?
Mine was about 500 MB and I removed some kernels because I got a warning the partition was getting full.
With only two kernels installed, 182 MB are used. I would suggest 1 GB and I believe that is what CentOS 7.3 will do by default.
Can I just change yum.conf with the setting installonly_limit=2 to limit kernels installed too two?
Sorry, but I don't advise that. A few years back we had a few machines running fedora, and at, was it 17? - they added preupgrade, they were building and stuffing a *lot* of stuff in /boot, and were recommending at least 500M. We just went to a 1G /boot by default.
