This leads after a short time to a root partition without any space unless root has probably more than 20 GB or something which is uncommon I suppose. I tried to disable snapper but was only able to do so for Yast and the cron job but not for zypper. I think there are three possibilities: 1. There should be an option to disable snapper during installation and a warning if root hasn't enough space for the usual snapshot ammount. 2. Snapper will be disabled by default in 12.2. 3. Bnc#740574 is fixed before release and snapper is able to clean up before it runs out of space but this is unlikely I suppose. Otherwise people who are no experts would run out of space soon and basically have an unusuable system after a short time depending on their root partition size. Of course this would only happen if btrfs is selected during installation but since there is no warning it will be not uncommon I suppose.
