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

Yast also not capable of UDF unfortunately. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Manu, I suspect a user error on your end, or something wrong with the servers you are checking against: On my machine:

So maybe there are more packages than the above required for it to work.)

I meant in the default installation.. but not a big requirement. Thanks a lot.

YaST installs snapper and yast2-snapper if your root filesystem is on btrfs. ciao Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, Senior Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- 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 :

And how does this differ from other filesystems that does have a fsck? Just by virtue of having a fsck tool, does not guarantee that it will be able to recover from problems happening in any way. In other words, this isn't a big deal at all, sorry. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
