Hello,
Today I tried to install LTS kernel and failed with error 'not enough space on device'. EFI partition of 512 MB is mounted on /boot. Partition manager displays it is 512 MB, and 84 MB in use. But df command outputs that the size is 98MB and 14MB is free, so to check it I tried to copy a file larger than 14MB there and failed too.
I setup LUKS encryption to the rest of disk space if it matters. How to fix the EFI size problem?

Please post the output of the following substituting the correct path to the ESP
parted -l
mount
df -h
file -s /dev/$ESP

Sounds like file system and partition size don't align. Not sure whether there's a fatresize tool or whether you'll have to reformat your partition. Another option would be to switch to a boot loader that can load your kernel images from your root partition and then not mounting your esp to /boot like e.g. switching to GRUB or refind.

thank you, that was the case. I booted with gparted media, made a backup and format to fat32 (unfortunately libparted could not resize the the small filesystem)
