Coming back to the btrfs/snapper issue, I just realized there's a snapper.log in /var/log that I'd not previously been aware of. Here's what's logged when I run "snapper cleanup number": --- snip --- 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) snapperd.cc(main):275 - Requesting DBus name 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) snapperd.cc(main):279 - Loading snapper configs 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc(getConfigs):269 - Snapper get-configs 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc(getConfigs):270 - libsnapper version 0.5.0 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(reload):114 - loading file /etc/sysconfig/snapper 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:SNAPPER_CONFIGS value:root 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(reload):114 - loading file /etc/snapper/configs/root 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:SUBVOLUME value:/ 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:ALLOW_USERS value:jhenderson 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:ALLOW_GROUPS value: 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) snapperd.cc(main):283 - Listening for method calls and signals 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc(Snapper):91 - Snapper constructor 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc(Snapper):92 - libsnapper version 0.5.0 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc(Snapper):93 - config_name:root disable_filters:false 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(reload):114 - loading file /etc/snapper/configs/root 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:SUBVOLUME value:/ 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:FSTYPE value:btrfs 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:QGROUP value:0/5 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:SYNC_ACL value:yes 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:ALLOW_USERS value:jhenderson 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):235 - key:ALLOW_GROUPS value: 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc(Snapper):125 - subvolume:/ filesystem:btrfs 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc (loadIgnorePatterns):174 - number of ignore patterns:8 2018-02-20 15:49:51 MIL libsnapper(5163) Snapshot.cc(read):245 - found 5 snapshots 2018-02-20 15:49:51 WAR libsnapper(5163) Snapper.cc(prepareQuota):729 - THROW: preparing quota failed 2018-02-20 15:49:51 WAR libsnapper(5163) Client.cc(dispatch):1670 - CAUGHT: preparing quota failed --- snip --- Does this provide any further insight into the issue? I can manually delete the snapshots one-by-one (or in pairs for the pre/ post snapshots), FWIW. I'm leaning towards some sort of configuration issue right now.
