I wonder why dont we have btrfs snapper yast module for 12.1, it was displayed at brainshare and I believe it to be one of the finest features for openSUSE. -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

My personal opinion (no one asked but)... Should we actually be promoting btrfs with all the controversy around the 'btrfsfsck' that no has seen and give the visibility many give it, if a user runs into filesystem problems, data will almost for sure lost, since the procedures (considering the user has extensive knowledge on btrfs) are somehow tricky to recover it (when it's possible) ? I mean... Should we really be concerned with a YaST module for a filesystem that is somehow suspicious? NM 2011/10/24 Manu Gupta <manugupt1@gmail.com>:
