[New: openFATE 323472] Increase root partition size or reduce snapshot space for Btrfs
Feature added by: Yunhe Guo (guoyunhebrave) Feature #323472, revision 1 Title: Increase root partition size or reduce snapshot space for Btrfs Requested by: Yunhe Guo (guoyunhebrave) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, openSUSE will create a 40 GB root partition by default. It is enough for ext4 partition, but not for Btrfs partition. Snapper will use 50% of partition space for its snapshots. This means only 20 GB is available for system and software. My system or applications crashed several times when snapshots have used up all root partition. Suggested solutions: 1. Increase default root partition space to 60 GB. 2. Or reduce Snapper snapshot space to 30%. So here is 30 GB available for safely installing software. For machines that own large disk space, the default root partition could be even bigger, for example, 80 GB. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/323472
