[yast-devel] Snapper: Missing directory "/.snapshots" makes snapper fail
Hi, i just installed openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64). I tried to use Snapper but using the Yast2 plugin failed as well as "sudo snapper create". var/log/snapper.log told me: libsnapper(3529) Snapshot.cc(nextNumber):362 - mkdir failed errno:2 (No such file or directory) Using strace i found that snapper needs the directory "/.snapshots". After creating this directory, everything seems to be fine, i can now create snapshots, and Yast automatically creates them. Perhaps snapper could auto-magically create the directory if needed?

Hi Marcel, Would you mind reporting a bug in Bugzilla [#1]? It would be also nice to add there which version of snapper do you use and how to reproduce the bug.

Snapper creates that directory (as a subvolume) when you call
"snapper create-config ..." as YaST does during
installation. Perhaps the complete snapper.log shows why that
failed.
