You cannot forbid users to chose arbitrary filesystem layout during installation. If this is so dangerous, snapper should refuse to perform rollback (or even create snapshots actually). If snapper allows it, how can you blame users?
Users cannot customise a separate /var filesystem in our basic tools provided. Neither the standard workflow nor the easy "Guided Setup" workflow allows it. We allow users to do lots of stupid stuff in the Expert partitioner, that's why it's the _Expert_ partitioner, and provides that question where the user must state that they know what they are doing If a user chooses a separate /var filesystem on a version of openSUSE that stores it's rpm database in /var (ie. Leap 42.3 and earlier), then either - a) the user is doing something stupid and they shouldn't have said they know what they are doing when opening the Expert partioner - b) the user knows what they are doing and have a custom solution to snapshot & restore /var in parallel to / Either way, it's not snapper's fault that the user has chosen to go above and beyond the default configuration we've provided. When we warn users with stuff like the Expert Partitioner warning, users should absolutely take responsibility for the decisions they make in such tooling. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
