I understand that "snapperd" is only for btrfs but its launched daily and hourly by cron even though i don't use btrfs. If this a failure of the installation process that adds these cron jobs?
The cron jobs are part of the snapper package. If you install that package, the cron jobs will be there.
If you don't use btrfs (or don't want to use snapshots), you could just uninstall it. I didn't make a choice to install it, something else made the decision. i'll uninstall it and see what happens.
But in your case there probably isn't set up any configuration anyway (see /etc/sysconfig/snapper and /etc/snapper/configs/), so the cron job will not do anything at all. True, it just fires up "snapperd" every hour.
Btw, snapper also seems to support ext4. http://snapper.io/overview.html I cannot tell you how good that works or how to enable it though. I'm not sure what it means "support ext4" as it was developed for btrfs according to that web site
Do we have a Plasma tool to manage crontab (there used to be a kcron if i remember correctly) ?
There still is kcron, and it has been ported to KF5 months ago, it is part of the KDE Applications 15.04 release. Tumbleweed does (only) contain the KF5 based version. Install it and you should find kcron in systemsettings5. THanks. It used to be automatically installed but it hadn't been this time (unlike snapperd and bluetooth)
