Much as I hate to repartition I was thinking of doing so to get tmp out of Btrfs, because Everytime I burn a CD/DVD huge tmp files are created. It got so bad that I moved K3Bs temp working directory to my a subdirectory in my home directory which solved that problem for now.
But JDD is on to something here, and that is tat with Btrfs you are never sure how much room you have, and the normal disk reporting tools have to be read very carefully. They should probably be rewritten to take Btrfs into account.
Meanwhile perhaps someone can explain how I can set snapper not to snapshot tmp at all.
create a file "/etc/snapper/filters/tmp.txt" with the content: [code] /tmp/* /tmp/.??* /var/tmp/* /var/tmp/.??* [/code] In short: specify the files / directories to exclude. Just "/tmp" does not work somehow (maybe b/c subvolume?). The why and how is somewhere in the snapper docu, bust I can not remember where anymore. Sorry. - Yamaban.
