[SOLVED]New kernel installation issues related to disk space

I am trying to install Liquorix kernel and got the following error:

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qed
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qla1280
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: wd719x

zstd: error 25 : Write error : No space left on device (cannot write compressed block)
bsdtar: Write error
bsdtar: Write error
==> ERROR: Image generation FAILED: bsdtar (step 1) reported an error

My EFI partition was originally 100M and i tried to expand it to 512M using Gparted. It threw some error but even after reboot i could see the partition as 512M on both Gparted and cfdisk. Thing is if i use pcmanfm(file manager) and i see the property it says it is 100M.
What could i do to actually change the size? or is this even what is causing the error?

Re: [SOLVED]New kernel installation issues related to disk space

The error makes perfect sense: there is no space left on /boot to write the new image.

You can look in /boot and see if there is anything there you don't need. Or you can properly resize your partitions, after backing up your data.

Yeah, i figured, but why do cfdisk, Gparted, Windows, etc.  say efi partition in 512M? And also how do i resize correctly?

Re: [SOLVED]New kernel installation issues related to disk space

That is a separate question to this topic.

Please remember to mark your thread as [Solved] by editing your first post and prepending it to the title.

Re: [SOLVED]New kernel installation issues related to disk space

Read your thread title, and then compare with the questions you asked in #5 - they are completely unrelated.

No they are not, "related to disk space" is what matters, "new kernel installation" is just context. That question is strictly related to disk space. I can change the title if you have a good tilte suggestion(if it is possible)

Edit:

The OP wrote:

While the chosen subject is far more generic (with spelling errors ;-) the ulitmate inquiry is how to *effectively* change the size.
Maybe the subject should reflect rather that than referecing the (irrelvant) "kernell [sic!] installation", so for posterioritys benefit you could change that.

partition was originally 100M and i tried to expand it to 512M using Gparted. It threw some error but even after reboot i could see the partition as 512M on both Gparted and cfdisk

fdisk  -l /dev/sda

You do understand that "partition" and "filesystem" are separate things and you can perfectly have a 100MB FS on a 512MB partition?

Re: [SOLVED]New kernel installation issues related to disk space

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
