All,
I setup a test install of Leap in a VM. Using BTRFS as per default. My first experience with BTRFS. This is purely for Leap experimentation so I hope 32GB is plenty. I accepted the default partition setup with a 32 GB drive.
I have 100GB free on the underlying hypervisor filesystem, so that should not be an issue and I can easily re-install if the partition setup is just wrong.
Per "df -h" I have a couple GB of freespace in / (root) and 16GB free in /home.
But when I try to do anything I'm told I'm out of diskspace.
Is this really how Leap is supposed to work? Not exactly user friendly.
What is the immediate fix?
Reinstall.
Is there a long term fix?
Avoid BTRFS OK, maybe that was a bit tongue in cheek, but realistically, I've lost data twice within a three month period and have sworn off BTRFS for at least two major releases. The data loss was bad enough, but never knowing how much actual space you have, the bizarre number of snapshots set up by default, and the sheer unnecessary-ness of the whole thing on a personal computer all lead me to avoid it.
