   Ah the joy of patch-Tuesday. Or patch-Thursday in my case. So assorted   
   Windows machines updated I thought I'd better check some Linux machines.   
   The other week a colleague texted me and pointed out a nasty SSH   
   regression being exploited. So I sat in Lyon Airport waiting for the   
   gate to be announced and updated my Pi ZeroW gateway and some VMs. I   
   just did the SSH updates. It's cool being able to control your machines   
   from a distance but using the laptop and a phone with roaming data is   
   asking for something to take you offline when you don't want. Today was   
   time to catch up with other updates....   
      
   All was fine apart from the Pi Zero W which gave an error when running   
   update-initramfs claiming there was no space on the device when doing   
      
   "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.6.31+rpt-rpi-v7l"   
      
   There was plenty of space on the device so I tried again. No luck.   
   Various ideas tried but it failed at the same place every time. I pulled   
   out another SDcard, wrote the image to it, put in the Pi, booted and   
   then did an update and upgrade. It failed again at the same place. So it   
   wasn't the SDcard that was misbehaving. I flailed about miserably   
   wondering what it was till I found this webpage.   
      
   https://hillenius.net/post/nospaceleft/   
      
   I followed that and sure enough, it fixed everything. What I don't yet   
   understand is what I had done to get to this place. And if it's just   
   started for me, are other people going to find themselves in the same   
   situation real soon now?   
      
   I run '2024-03-15-raspios-bookworm-armhf-lite.img' with a few tweaks to   
   place logs etc. on the ram disk and I've been running apt update etc. on   
   that since end of May. Whatever, after today's update it was not going   
   to work unless I followed those changes to initramfs-tools.   
      
   Hopefully this may help the next Pi user who gets bitten by this.
