So, even though the doc says BtrFS only, XFS or ReiserFS will happily support snapper?
No. There is experimental support for ext4 with LVM snapshots but it requires special LVM tools that are not available in standard distribution.
Curious. Since the LVM snapshot mechanism works underneath the file system by copying the partition/logical volume, that seems odd. Could you give more details please. If you mean 'snapper', then yes, perhaps, since snapper works at the FS level and requires a COW FS. -- "He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order. He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans. But his agents are numerous and splendidly organized. If there a crime to be done, a paper to be abstracted, we will say, a house to be rifled, a man to be removed -- the word is passed to the Professor, the matter is organized and carried out. The agent may be caught. In that case money is found for his bail or his defence. But the central power which uses the agent is never caught -- never so much as suspected." -- Sherlock Holmes, in "The Final Problem" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
