That has always been the case. Its why I use LVM In the limiting case, if my hard drive fills up totally, LVM will let me extend onto another drive :-) No, that's not what happens with btrfs. Of course you can add more space when using LVM. But you do know that most people don't use LVM. I don't, for instance.
and the traditional advice to solve this doesn't work.
What 'traditional' advice are you talking about?
Look in /tmp, and /var/log. Find out their sizes. If there are files too big, delete them.
With btrfs, you have to check the snapshots as well. And tools like df may not tell the whole truth. You have to use new commands specific for btrfs.
Snapshots filling up the root partition is not an inherent failure of btrfs, it is due to the snapper configuration provided by the openSUSE packagers. I have edited my snapper config to only snapshot pre and post updates (no timeline snapshots) and I still have plenty of room in my root partition. barrowhillfarm:~ # btrfs fi show / Label: none uuid: 2a7b14cf-0917-47f8-8379-10679d9f59d8 Total devices 2 FS bytes used 9.36GiB devid 1 size 36.00GiB used 7.03GiB path /dev/sda2 devid 2 size 36.00GiB used 7.03GiB path /dev/sdg2 btrfs-progs v4.0+20150429 Bob - -- Bob Williams System: Linux 3.16.7-7-desktop Distro: openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.14.3 Uptime: 06:00am up 7:55, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.05, 0.06 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlVIZc8ACgkQ0Sr7eZJrmU5ljQCgh0rOLBuVgob1ly2H1GsV+Guu cFwAnj2tVzEATxpzzLuoxuttrgL4HOmK =E83n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
