@hellomiakoda @fredds ok... well going back to a more simple approach. Do you have any old kernels still installed whose modules could be taking up needless space in the /usr/lib/modules directory? Maybe try cleaning those out? I'm assuming the contents of that directory, even as a tmpfs mount, still contains the kernel modules.

I see in another post your are running Suse, last I used that distro was about 20 years ago so i'm not sure if the /usr/lib/modules as a tmpfs mount is deliberate or some strange race condition due to your failed upgrade.

@hellomiakoda @fredds Assuming you do not have an active shell session in that directory which is keeping you from umounting can you see if there are any processes holding any files hostage via sudo lsof | grep /usr/lib/modules. If you are not familiar, the first two columns of any output will be the process name and pid of process that has open files in that dir potentially keeping it from unmounting. If you stop/kill those you can try unmounting, you can also try adding the --force flag to you umount command.

@hellomiakoda @fredds Can you umount /usr/lib/modules and see if your kernel modules are in there once the tmpfs is unmounted and then resume your broken update?

As to why a tmpfs filesystem is mounted on that dir is another mystery that is hopefully resolved once your upgrade completes and a reboot is successful.

@hellomiakoda What filesystem are you running? If you are using ZFS or BTRFS make sure that you don't have any old snapshots that are taking up space (won't show up in df -h). I had a similar mysterious out of space issue a while ago and the cause was because I wasn't clearing old btrfs snapshots, once I cleaned those up the problem was solved.

@dnalounge no better way to show your support for the arts than using crappy AI art to promote your show. Come on folks, you're better than this.
