Supported Unsupported --------- ----------- Snapshots Inode cache
In the past the snapshots were enabled automatically. I once installed a VM with just a 20G disk and soon this small disk was filled up after some zypper patch/dup calls. It was not immediately obvious why the root filesystem ran out of space. Google pointed to snapper and somehow I managed to remove the (unwanted) snapshots.
Unless the snapshot handling has improved to not suddenly fillup the disk during ordinary usage I suggest to disable them per default. Maybe add a big red button in the installer proposal to easily enable/disable them.
Yep, this is definitely on the list of things that need doing. I'm not sure what the current status is here, though. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs
