kernel - Why does `make install` fail with "gzip: stdout: No space left on device" when the disk is not full? - Ask Ubuntu


i have compiled new kernel , set of modules base on linux-headers , linux-source packages within ubuntu. carious compilation steps have gone until attempt make install fails in following manner:

root@thorne-ul-dt:/usr/src/linux-source-4.4.0# make install sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 4.4.21 arch/x86/boot/bzimage \     system.map "/boot" run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 4.4.21 /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.21 run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools 4.4.21 /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.21 update-initramfs: generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.21  gzip: stdout: no space left on device e: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1 update-initramfs: failed /boot/initrd.img-4.4.21 1. run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited return code 1 arch/x86/boot/makefile:191: recipe target 'install' failed make[1]: *** [install] error 1 arch/x86/makefile:260: recipe target 'install' failed make: *** [install] error 2 

now have read far has suggested or ended being down full filesystem. /boot or /tmp , if not space inodes. checked pc , looks me.

just how space or number of inodes kernel image need?

i tried doing purge-old-kernels , apt-get update && apt-get auto-remove` in case did not help.


what causes make install of kernel fail gzip: stdout: no space left on device when filesystem seems have free space , free inodes?
