Same here. The scripts have been replaced by links to /usr/share/btrfsmaintenance/* and there's a systemd service to create them. It had been run when installing the btrfsmaintenance package, but obviously something has removed them again :( So instead of reinstalling you can also just systemctl start btrfsmaintenance-refresh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Definitely worth watching the cron files, if they vanish again at some point. Maybe the default of the service should anyhow be 'enabled', so it is run once at boot time. Else you might change relevant settings in /etc/sysconfig/btrfsmaintenance and they are ignored because of a non-existing cronjob... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
