I have ZFS (ZSYS) installed and the snapshots on a laptop can fill up the space. I was able to free up the disk space by loading the zsys config file (not installed by default) and reduce the number of "keep" snapshots. ZSYS assumes that it is running on a machine that is up most of the time, but if it is not, then there can be large changes (kernel updates) within more than expected snapshots, hence space fills up faster than may have been expected.
The actual space available to /boot is 2G, but when the snapshots don't get garbage collected, the free space gets too small for updates to run.
zsys assumptions and garbage collection default rules need to be re-considered based on usage, even if it is just described in the man/info pages, rather than needing to look them up in didrocks blogs (again).
If the problem was caused by lack of /boot space, close this bug.
