KD5RKO Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.140ubuntu13.1) ... ln: failed to create hard link '/boot/initrd.img-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588.dpkg-bak' => '/boot/initrd.img-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588': Operation not permitted update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588 update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot format I am getting this error every time I do an apt upgarde. I am running on a 256Gb NVME drive and booting off of it with no problems. So does this error mean it's not actually updating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588 ? The third line there makes me think that it just fails with the hard link and then generates the file instead. My google searching only led to instances where it couldn't do this because of partition format issues but that does not seem to be the case here. Is this a permissions issue? Is this even something that needs to be fixed for proper operation or can it be safely ignored. Thanks in advance for any help and thanks to the devs for their continued great work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0rnelius Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 More than likely the /boot is a vfat partition and as it suggests creating a hard link isn't supported. The initrd is still getting updated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD5RKO Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 That was it - looked in gparted and it's definitely FAT16 Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
