In the end I think the "granny question" is valid.
If we make btrfs the default for 13.1, will granny run into any issues?
Does the drive fill up because of created snapshots?
It does.
Does she run out of space although there should be plenty of space on the drive?
Yes, she does.
The issue has happened several times in the forums, people that complain that their filesystem is full despite reporting 1/3 used.
The users were sometimes unaware they were using btrfs.
Thus YaST should suggest bigger sizes, or the tasks that clear out old snapshots be modified to avoid that situation.
Hi In the recent case the user had a smaller partition than the recommended size @11GB, so if a user over rides, not a lot you can do? So on this system running SLED 11 SP3/btrfs my / is 19.5 GB with currently 86 snapshots and disk usage at 42% on the openSUSE system I used 30GB for / and it's at 25% with 39 snapshots. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) GNOME 2.28.0 Kernel 3.0.82-0.7-default up 6:49, 4 users, load average: 0.30, 0.26, 0.30 CPU AMD E2-1800@1.7GHz | GPU ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 7340] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
