Hello,
I see in the snapper pages
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Snapper
it's said than snapper can do high system i/o
"Now you might also want to disable cleanup of empty pre-post snapshot pairs since otherwise the daily cleanup can cause high I/O"
The "daily" and the "cron" should be a clue. Or you could RTFM of SNAPPER(1) and read <quote> Automatic Snapshot Creation Next to manual snapshot creation, snapshots are also created automatically. · A cron-job creates hourly snapshots. · Certain programs like YaST and zypper create pre/post snapshot pairs when modifying the system. </quote> Which might encourage you to look in /etc/cron.{daily,hourly} and find the files "suse-de.sanpper"
* may this look like a system crash (disabling even the mouse for a long time - several minutes?)
* is it possible to instruct snapper to do less often snapshots? I see nothing like this in yast
No, its in the config file for snapper. Stop treating yast like a know-it-all and a crutch and investigate the FS. RTFM time again: <quote> FILES /etc/sysconfig/snapper Global configuration file. /etc/snapper/configs Directory containing configuration files. </quote> -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
