KDE and Gnome both warn user about low disk states. They can't know how much one aditional snapper snapshot will consume.

Creating one additional snapshot takes about 4kB. Writing data to the filesystem, e.g. with zypper up, uses the space.

We simply need better defaults and snapper logic that actually stops snapshotting when it sees that there is no disk space. I don't see any way how DE could protect user from what snapper decides to do.

Snapper cannot protect users from what the rest of the tools do. Otherwise see my thoughts here: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=931571#c15 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
