I'd say the fact that Snapper was able to fill my root partition without quotas being disabled is a bug...
it is unfortunate yes, but a bug no - quotas works on the principle of using % (50% default) of free space, enforced on cron defined intervals. in your case you actually have *very* little free space, so if you hit it with file *changes* over a relativly short space of time it will fill up regardless. you have several options: change quota allocations, reduce number (range) of snapshots, increase space, etc
Perhaps technically not a bug then, but even so I feel like this shouldn't have been allowed to happen to a "normal" desktop user doing nothing exotic and accepting all defaults at install. Also, I notice there are no options in Yast2/Snapper to do any of what you suggest. Kind regards, Huw
