Feature changed by: Ivar Nikolaisen (Quantumboredom) Feature #313430, revision 2 Title: Safe snapper snapshot creation / restoration during boot / shutdown openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ivar Nikolaisen (quantumboredom) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently Snapper takes snapshots both when doing system changes using YaST / Zypper, and also automatically on a schedule. The problem with these snapshots is that system integrity is not guaranteed (i.e., a snapshot can be taken while a file is being written, leaving the file - in a corrupted state upon restoring the snapshot). I propose a - mechanism where snapper takes a snapshot upon system shutdown at a - stage where the snapshot can be guaranteed to be consistent. This could - for example be just like a timeline snapshot, except the description - should highlight that it was taken at system shutdown. + in a corrupted state upon restoring the snapshot). + I propose a mechanism where snapper takes a snapshot upon system + shutdown at a stage where the snapshot can be guaranteed to be + consistent.

It would also be very nice if it was possible to restore snapshots when booting (I believe Fedora is already working on something like this), but perhaps this should be a separate feature request? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It is obviously useful to have known-good restore points. Especially useful for the many users of proprietary display drivers (even more so if using Tumbleweed!). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313430
