11.2-U2 boot environment size

[biltong]

Has anyone else that's updated noticed their boot environment for U2 is massive?

Interestingly enough, if I delete an older boot environment, the size drops:

(In this case I deleted 11.1-RELEASE which was about 800mb)

I reported that bug a little while ago and they closed it on me. Perhaps you will have better luck.

'It appears that your other boot environments are so small that the total used vs your current boot environment are almost the same'

English is my first language but I am struggling to parse this statement and observe the same flawed behaviour.

Here I have a single boot environment (11.2-U2) which consumes 3.9GB so the total used vs my current boot environment is, by definition, the same. As I only have a 8GB boot device, this might potentially be an issue.

Quite why it consumes 3.9GB instead of c. 800MB is not clear but I won't be logging a bug if that is their considered response.

To clarify that response, the Used (size and %) shown in your screenshot was correct, it just seemed off due to the size of of the other boot environments. The dev gave an example of their system where the math was more obvious.
