Great work guys!

Does this also mean that new installations of Tumbleweed will keep /var on its own subvolume?

That's not yet part of the same change - Richard is still busy with a couple more things he is moving off /var; but that is definively a step into this direction

For the adventurous, I _THINK_ we are now at a point where /var/lib could be a subvolume comfortably

But I'm working on getting to a point where /var could be a subvolume - which is why my next mission is relocating /var/adm/fillup-templates

And if /var is going to be a subvolume instead of several /var/lib/$foo subvolumes, we need to rethink how we set the NoCoW attribute on some locations (eg. /var/lib/mysql) because right now our tooling only does that as part of subvolume creation

So, this is a step in that direction, I'm working on it, but we're not there yet :)

Could /var/adm be moved under /usr/lib/sysimage/ as /usr/lib/sysimage/adm ?

From an outside viewpoint the arguments made for /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm could also be applied for /usr/lib/sysimage/adm.

That would move the backups of rpmdb / postfixconfig / sysconfig , as well as the update-{scripts,messages} out of /var, too. - Yamaban. -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
