--- Comment #19 from Juan Antonio Solis ---
Since my server failure I am discovering all the benefits Snapper has, and it
is an amazing tool. I admit that I should have studied it before installing it,
but as almost everybody in the IT world, I have much work and not so much time
and I had not done it yet. When I did the 13.2 fresh installation and saw that
the suggested partition system was btrfs, I thought that if opensuse was
suggesting it, it was because it had been thoroughly tested (I would not have
thought the same with ubuntu, seriously) and was safe to install, so I accepted
the default offered configuration.
If I did this way, probably most standard users that install opensuse in their
desktops would do the same and will accept opensuse installator proposals even
unknowing what they means and expecting that the default configuration will
work fine. I installed opensuse to friends of mine who does not want to know
anything about snapshots or anything beyond how to browse Internet, using
office, managing photos, etc.
So the system should be able to manage the space automatically and to adapt the
number of snapshots stored to the actual space remaining. As Matthias said,
maybe a low number of snapshots stored could be enough for desktop computers.
And IT people will be able to configure their servers if they need more (IT
people who study more than I do, I am afraid)
Or even maybe an opensuse server version and a desktop one? It is the only
thing I liked from Ubuntu (I do not know if they still have it).
P.D: Sorry for writing so much, but maybe it is worthy for you to know some
users experience.
