Hello List Mates,
Is it possible to use the same snapshot id number after deleting a range of snapshots?
Example I have a range of snapshots from 1 > 20
If I delete snapshot ids 11 to 20, I want to create a new snapshot id 11? Snapper automatically starts at 21 and keeps increasing.
Snapper should reuse the numbers from 11 on. Please check if after deleting a snapshot the corresponding directory in /.snapshots still exists and if it does whether it is empty. Maybe there's a file from grub left behind.
Since the old snapshot id 11 no longer exists, I should be able to create a new one with the same id number.
There is a feature request to *not* reuse numbers since that can
cause race conditions, see
https://github.com/openSUSE/snapper/issues/131.
