Every new lollipop update has shrunk the system partition and now with 5.1.1 for the first time the system partition has 0.0 mb free.
I've seen a pattern with every update but now they really made sure there is no free space at all. I remember when I had like 50 mb free.
I really wonder if they do this intentionally to make it a little more difficult to root. I know how to free up some system space so I can install busybox, I usually just delete google+, but this was never necessary up until 5.1. But even then there was about 0.3 mb free.
I wanted to make sure that it wasn't filled up because of leftovers from previous updates so I made a complete fastboot wipe, both erase and format every partition, and then installed 5.1.1 manually through ADB. But it made no difference.
