But the file system was still full. That's when I found a drawback of the snapshots ... Took me some time to figure out what was going on. Afterwards, it was simple to write a script that located the snapshots in question (just by looking for one of the files inside), mounting it RW and deleting the huge folder.
BTDT with BytrFS on rotating rust. Yes I deleted it. But then I went into config and disabled snapshotting. As far as i could see, the major benefit of snapshotting on RootFS was rolling back zypper updates.
I also probably never got close to the physical write-count limits of the SSD; I buy them big enough (60GB), so they are usually max. 50% full.
Since a basic system is only about 20G that's a sound approach. Oh, but then I have /usr/share and /var and /tmp on separate file systems.
Other than that, I never had problems or performance issues and I've been using this computer 2-4h every day.
I've been running BtrFS on ROOT on one machine or another for most of the life if 13.1. I had a a problem with it on /home but never on the RootFS. Except, as above with snapshotting filling it up! -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
