Next TW-upgrade comes: User calls zypper dup 1. zypper will snapshot (pre update), 2. zypper downloads all the packages (this takes extra space not needed later, if the packages are not kept), and installs them, 3. second snapshot (post update) happens.

The second snapshot is big, as it contains all the changed / added files.

I am asking myself if zypper/snapper ensures that the downloaded packages are not part of the snapshot. I do not have a btrfs system at hand where I could look... Johannes
