I've moved to the new layout so I've written something on how to do it: https://www.alionet.org/content.php?801-openSUSE-change-son-%AB-partitionnem....
The explanations are in French but the commands are the same in English ;-)
This guide is wrong, dangerous, and should not be followed
_I strongly recommend against anyone using this guide_
To summarise it's key flaws
#1 The guide does not make clear that the new structure should NOT BE USED on Leap 42.3 or earlier distributions. Anyone using a flat /var subvolume on Leap 42.3 or earlier WILL break their system when rolling back because rpm still locates it's database in /var/lib/rpmdb in that version, and hundreds of packages store their fillup-templates in /var/adm still.
You cannot forbid users to chose arbitrary filesystem layout during installation. If this is so dangerous, snapper should refuse to perform rollback (or even create snapshots actually). If snapper allows it, how can you blame users? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
