Fine, then you want to use atomic updates. Use them - transactional-update is supported in Leap 42.3, 15, and Tumbleweed

Interesting!
Let's see those links. [...] Oh... :-(

Ok, but my system has been upgraded from SuSE 6.2 upwards (ie, it is much older than 13.x), so it will not work. And I do not use btrfs, either.
Welcome to the 21st century, we have new technologies, built to address the problems with your primitive systems from the dark times.
We think you'll find it interesting here if you adopt our modern ways ;)
Very amusing. But not terribly helpful ...
How does he 'adopt your modern ways' if his system started life before your arbitrary cut off date? Even leaving aside his preference to avoid the 'one filesystem to rule them all' mantra.
Right. I'm not going to risk btrfs, I'm scared shit by it. Yes, I'm very well aware of its advantages, but they do not manage to outweigh its risks. According to the Wikipedia, Btrfs was introduced on March 2009, and ext4 on October 2006, so they are from similar times. Besides that, I use XFS which shares devs with btrfs. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
