I tend to agree here, I hit this as well with basically a default installation on a month old laptop, if no one tells me they've raised a bug about this in the next 24 hrs i'll create one.

If you file the bug, do put the link here, so I can add myself to it. Basically, it is easier to completely reinstall the system rather than fudge around with resizing the encrypted lvm partitions I now have in place. It would have been more convenient if any of the initial setup screens had mentioned how much space btrfs should have been given.
This question - how much space to reserve for snapshots - depends on multiple factors: - the size of your installation - the update behaviour of the distribution you are using (Tumbleweed and LEAP / SLE 12 have fundamentally different patterns) - the default settings for the number of snapshots - the cleanup policies, and in this context probably also the question, if the cleanup policies are executed at all (and not the system is sleeping or off) In general, it is a good general advice, to 1. Execute the snapshot cleanup daily 2. Execute "btrfsmaintenance" daily (with a lightweight policy) 3. Reserve three times more space than the OS currently uses. This already has a safety buffer, and allows for a complete distribution update of the OS plus metadata. Please also copy me to your bugreport (CC = mge@suse.com). So long - MgE -- Matthias G.
