I've been facing the same issue the past couple of months with massive updates. Thankfully the last update of last night which downloaded roughly 3.6GB went smoothly though it failed in the middle 2-3 times due to low space.
I agree with your conclusion, Zypper should implement a check of some sort and warn the user if it detects the root partition will potentially fill up to a 100%, For this to be done, I think if maybe there was a "--dry-run" option in snapper, so that we (or Zypper) could retrieve the space that the ensuing snapshot would take, it'd be possible since snapshot sizes are what is currently unaccounted for.
Yes exactly. This would be good in general and especially for users that run out of disk space and do not know about 'snapper delete' or how to recover the situation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I reinstalled TW after failing to upgrade properly due to the large disk size, (literally running out of non-essential snapshots to delete) and this time not using a separate home partition to avoid this issue once and for all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
