Hello,
I'm trying to run `sudo mkinitcpio -p linux`. Amongst all of the lines, the following stands out:
==> Creating zstd-compressed initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
zstd: error 25 : Write error : No space left on device (cannot write compressed block)
==> ERROR: Image generation FAILED: zstd reported an error
and right at the end
==> Creating zstd-compressed initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img
zstd: error 25 : Write error : No space left on device (cannot write compressed block)
==> ERROR: Image generation FAILED: zstd reported an error
then I checked how full the /boot partition is with `df -h`:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p1 96M 96M 1.0K 100% /boot
but the result of `fdisk -l` is
# fdisk -l
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/nvme0n1p1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System
What is going on?
Thank you.

You only have a 100MB filesystem in a 512MB partition.
Copy everything off the partition, reformat it to the correct size and then copy everything back again. Don't forget to update your fstab with the new UUID.

Thank you for the reply Slithery.
Could you be a little more specific on how I can do this? Do I use a tool like dd? do I copy all the files and hidden files to a directory under my home ext4 partition? And what about my windows partition which shares the same partition because of `/boot/EFI` ? Will windows still boot normally? Or will if affect the boot process and therefor I need to write down the recovery key?
And I suppose you don't have any insight on how it happened in the first place, no?
Thank you very much once again.

Slighery,
Before making any change, I would like to show how the KDE Partition manager don't show 100% full:
