The most frequent problem is the root partition filling up, and the traditional advice to solve this doesn't work.
? yes it do, at least it did for me (remove snapshots, limit the snapshot number) Snapshots, balancing I
don't know what, etc. The cause, IMO, is that the root filesystem when using btrfs should be at least 50 GB, and if that is not possible, YaST should default to ext4 instead.
yast try to give twice as much for root as before, I used to have 20Gb, I have now 40Gb.. not enough. There is obviously a problem. Same for indexes growing up to 20Gb (not a file system problem, then)
On other occasions the filesystem corrupts, fsck doesn't work, and repair becomes very complicated. Few people know how to repair it (I don't).
until now I only had file system corruption when hardware begin to brake, and this what ever the file system is. But it's just me :-(
And this is happening specially to beginners and newcomers, which may be scared by these complications and not use Linux again. IMO, btrfs should not be installed for them, because the toolset is not complete and it is hard to help them.
right now openSUSE is *not* said to be for beginners, however it's the distribution I find the most easy practically for beginners... other distros are worst (do you explain ppa to ubuntu users?). the fact is no distribution have the man power to troubleshoot all. I'm extremely glad to see tumbleweed grow, because it's the way things can be tested extensively, I I will never instal it on a beginners computers. Linux is evolving fast *and have to*, but this is very demanding for our little community of "helpers"... jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
