- as a single-PC desktop user of Tumbleweed , it would be nice to feel the security in the event that a Tumbleweed "dup" causes problem , that one could use Snapper to revert to safe Original pre-dup state . Is there a reason you can't use BtrFS or XFS?
- what please is the safest method to change from ext4 to BtrFS ?
I did this once and it went OK. There's a utility to do it. I don't recall the name. The old extFS is saved. It is accessible as subvolume.

- and : does this mean that one needs to re-format to BtrFS all Back-Up media ?
or,
does the act of rsyncing to backup media also change the file-system of the backup media to BtrFS ?
rsync copies files. Its not concerned with file sysem type. If the destination media FS is a XXXXX-Fs then that's what you get. If the remote machine happens to be a IBM Z-series running MVS then what FS do you expect ? Its like asking "what happens if you tar a set of files on a ext2FS ... Will untaring mean that the FS you untar onto becomes ext2?" Its about files, not the raw FS. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
