Snapshots were useful for retrieving the occasional file, but I never succeeded in booting from a snapshot. Always they were unbootable. i find it hard to believe that this was a technical failure on multiple occasions, can you describe what you mean by unbootable? The system would not boot. :)
I can't remember exactly what happened. I could try and re-create it on another computer if you are really interested.

I booted up the other computer and found that it has 40G so it wouldn't be a good test. I was able to boot from a snapshot too, the grub menu seemed straight forward. I could shrink the btrfs file system and try it. But I don't know if gparted supports btrfs. Anyway if the consensus is that 20G is too small, I shan't bother. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
