Removing old kernels and headers

Because you automatically upgrade your kernels, your VMs get clogged up with old kernels and headers. Example:

 

Code Block
visser@nagios:~$ ls -la /lib/modules/
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jun 14 06:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 May 31 06:50 ..
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Feb  8 01:58 3.2.0-37-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Feb 22 06:54 3.2.0-38-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Mar 19 06:42 3.2.0-39-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Apr  9 06:45 3.2.0-40-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 May  2 06:45 3.2.0-41-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 May 16 06:54 3.2.0-43-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 May 24 06:26 3.2.0-44-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 May 31 06:50 3.2.0-45-virtual
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Jun 14 06:35 3.2.0-48-virtual

You should do some house cleaning, by removing all old kernels, headers, and manually compiled modules. Given that you run 48, and the oldest one is 37, this one liner does it for you:

Code Block
for i in `seq 37 47`; do apt-get -yy purge linux-image-3.2.0-$i-virtual linux-headers-3.2.0-$i; rm -rfv /lib/modules/3.2.0-$i-virtual; done
