you say it was full, you deleted snapshots, have free space, and have upgraded (dup --no-allow-vendor-change) - so is it working?
Yeah - to be clear, I have a (seemingly) fully functional system right now. It's just that I would like the assurance that I will be able to roll back if I ever need to, hence my experiments with Snapper. At the moment, because the system doesn't fully boot (into SDDM and thence into KDE) from a snapshot I'm not convinced things would work if I attempted a rollback.
my head is spinning, but yes you should be able to login and go to a functioning desktop, however since you previously borked your system id try again with a new snapshot and if it dosnt work youve found a bug.
I'd say the fact that Snapper was able to fill my root partition without quotas being disabled is a bug...
and so you will report it ???
Well apparently it isn't a bug, so my bellyaching on this list will have to suffice. I'm sure the responsible people have read my tale of woe. Kind regards, Huw
