Comment 1 for bug 1089195

This just happened to me on another 10.04.4 server installation. All while trying to upgrade kernel versions. This is an LTS version, and it has support until April 2015, however the old headers are still accumulating and eating inodes.

Please, I beg of you, take notice of this issue.
