So I just tried to upgrade my UniFi controller since I noticed it was stuck on 16.04. Apparently when it upgraded from whatever previous version it was on, the release flag got set to only upgrade to the LTS line /sigh...
/etc/update-manager/release-upgradeswas set toPrompt=ltsI changed it to
Prompt=normaland then did the upgrade. Boom not enough space on /boot.

@JaredBusch When I upgraded to 16.10, it also disabled the unifi repos and I had to go in and enable them again.

That is normal with ever distribution upgrade in unbuntu. i know and expect that. part of the upgrade process is to disable all 3rd party repos.

@JaredBusch Good to know... this was the first time I upgraded a distro and didn't realize that would happen.

This right here is hateful.

Run that, and
no release foundugh - but linux is so much the easy. -

I never bothered to check syntax, google told me to do this.
bnaadmin@bnauc02:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -dIt worked.
I'm not out to learn Ubuntu practices.

Honestly, you spent too much time on this. I would have performed a backup and installed a new system then migrated.
You only have to install to the same version to make it all work.

I mean that screen shows it is Ubuntu 14.04 FFS

Really thinking that also. Tired of being jerked around on something so ' simple and easy'. When it works it is...

Currently 4.x - I don't recall right off, and don't directly feel like signing into it. New VM created, just need to get an ISO mounted to start the install. But as it's not critical - Monday task.....

All this means is that you need to install the UniFi 4.x on the new system first, not the 5.x branch.
Then once you see everything reporting in, you can change to the UniFi 5 line. -
New VM Created and running. Updating normally:

Ah the things we learn... the hard way.
/boot maxed out again as I had not been monitoring it. But - at least it was documented here so that I could come back and learn from my previous mistakes and move forward.

Gotta love Ubuntu.
