Now getting an email - The file system /dev/sda1, which is mounted at /boot, has reached warn status because it is 83% full. I just recently updated the kernel. When i got to /boot and ls I get this...

It looks to me like there are three different sets of files from upgrades present. Is it safe for me to simply delete anything related to these

*2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64*
and
*2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64*



Thanks!

Just found this. Will the steps here take care of the issue for me safely?

Hello

cPanelDon wrote a good response to a similar question a few years ago that should be helpful to you:

Clean Boot Partition

Thank you.

Great! I followed the steps outlined and removed the oldest of the three installed kernels. That took it down to about 55%. All is well in my world now... Another +1 for you Michael. I think its time for them to give you a raise (or at least one additional sugar cookie in your lunch box).
