Not when you use btrfs. You need them on the same partition for snapshots to work.
No you don't Yes, you absolutely do. If you want the rollback mechanishm on boot to work, you do. And it is not me who said that.
You can have snapshots, yes, but not the rollback feature on boot. The ability to boot an older snapshot, then make it the current one. "/" must be a single partition.
Any system that does that does not comply with the LFS. Which states that ANYTHING in /tmp is not guaranteed to survive a reboot. Okay, these are my gentoo systems, but /tmp is a massive /tmpfs, for precisely that reason (as is /var/tmp/portage). You can't have /var/tmp as a tmpfs and be LFS-compliant, as that is where apps are supposed to store their crash-recovery files etc. Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
