--- Comment #21 from Richard Brown
"In other words most of "bugs" you report are bogus,"
Maybe my definition of "bug" is faulty then. Maybe you can help me understand what a bug is? Like snapper using up 15GB of your 30GB root partition. Is that not a bug then?
Snapper is designed to (by default) take snapshots of your btrfs root filesystem. Our standard btrfs config is configured in such a way that subvolumes prevent the snapshotting of folders like /home, and certain /var/lib/* folders where databases and such are kept in Outside of those subvolumes, everything on that root partition is going to be snapshotted If you have 15GB of change on your 30GB root partition in a short period of time, it is not a bug if snapper therefore fills up that space Your reports do not assert, nor suggest, that the the behaviour you are reporting is anything less than the expected behaviour of snapper, and therefore, yes, it is not a bug. A bug would be something like 'I changed nothing on the system, did nothing in the root filesystem, installed no packages, but still btrfs filled up my disk with snapshots' The recommended root partition size for an openSUSE btrfs root filesystem is *at least* 40GB. This has proven to be a sane default for the vast majority of the openSUSE userbase. Changes to that default have been made, when bug reporters have been able to demonstrably explain how and why the default settings needed to be changed. But your bug reports are woefully lacking in detailed information to be helpful to any such considerations. If you're an exceptionally heavy user, making lots of changes to your packages, then you either need more, or you need to adjust your snapper configuration accordingly to clean up based on your environment. That is your responsibility as the administrator of the system, but again, to be absolutely clear, that doesn't mean it's a bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
