I know, btrfs rollback also excludes /home. I said so. /tmp I'm unsure.
Ah. Now you're talking about sub-volumes whereas I've been talking about mounted file systems.
Doesn't matter. For excluded directories, doesn't matter.
If I'm willing to edit the config file(s) for snapper then I can exclude anything. Or, as I said, I can set up snapper to work in an additional file system, REAL file system that is, not a sub-volume.
No. Everything that snapper can rollback has to be, apparently, a single filesystem, with different volumes or whatever is the name.
Just like everything else about Linux, if you know what you're doing you can hand-craft the config files to make it do just about anything. Forget Yast. Yast is for doing things the designers of yast decided they thought you should be doing.
Learn you system. Experiment. Break it a few (dozen/hundred) times. You learn more by making mstakes.
Well, if you wish to spend time in that... I don't. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
