I think the problem of root filling up with snapshots is the fault of snapper (an openSUSE program), not btrfs, even though the snapshotting capability is provided by btrfs. Please don't blame btrfs for problems not of its making.
But if I don't use snapshots, what's the point of having btrfs as opposed to ext4? And on an SSD I just don't want any snapshots. I'll do them in other ways and onto the HDD, not SSD.
You can use whichever filesystem you like. I just wanted to clarify that the problem you described here:
After I was caught out during an upgrade with root full because of snapshots, I don't think I will be using btrfs again, sorry suse.
was not a result of using btrfs, but a result of the snapper configuration. Regards Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.4.92-31-default Distro: openSUSE 42.3 (x86_64) Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.32.0, Qt: 5.6.2 and Plasma: 5.8.7
