Comment # 11 on bug 931571 from ill lume

>In my experience, keeping 20-30 snapshots is no problem, if your
disk size follows our recommendation (at least 16 GiB for "/"),

/ has over 30GB and my system was basically hosed from only 20 snapshots in a
couple of weeks.

using btrfs,

It is hard to enjoy btrfs given how opensuse implements it, with system
breaking bugs like this one from a new install. If btrfsmaintenance will get
rid of snapshots before they cause the system to stop working from lack of free
data, then why wouldn't opensuse people put that in by default?
