(SIDE NOTE: there has been a few comments about the 'granularity' of snapper that suggest that people do not know just how well it works.
Unlike LVM and other blockbased snapshotting tools, btrfs snapshots are totally and utterly 'diffable'
The snapper CLI and the YaST snapper tool let you compare, diff, and selectively rollback specific changes to any specific files between snapshots
You can't really get more granular than that, and it also means snapper has an awesome secondary role as a diagnostic tool
eg. You think a package install is missbehaving? No problem, do a diff between the pre and post snapshots on any package install and zypper will be able to tell you EXACTLY what that package install did to every file on your system)
That's good to hear, I just haven't used btrfs myself because I just don't like it. The problem I have with people in this thread (not you) is that when I say "I don't like it" and give some of the reasons why (because people ask, for instance) other people will go and attack those reasons as if they need to change what I like and don't like. Maybe I misunderstand people but. If you don't like something, you don't like it. If you like something, you do like it. I mean how hard is it. How many times have we really experienced being wrong about something? You like the sound of Romania, you go visit Romania, will you be disappointed? You don't like the sound of Bazril, you go visit it, will you be disappointed in that(?). A pleasant surprise -- sure it happens. But being confirmed in what I knew beforehand is much more common in my life. I don't get why people are not entitled to their opinion, or their appraisal or feelings. Maybe I am not "modest" enough to be accepted ;-). My life usually consists of a neverending stream of experiences that tell me I was a fool for not listening to my intuition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
