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.
Maybe, but snapper is only active when "/" is btrfs.
Hi But can be used with others... From http://snapper.io/overview.html - Works with btrfs, ext4 and thin-provisioned LVM volumes Use an ext4 ~/ and use snapper to backup your user....
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.
Absolutely. But that's my point, that you had to do something or your partition would fill up.

You see? You had to use something that is not "df". Just what I said.
I noticed on 13.1 that the cron job never ran after first install (no idea why) but once I manually ran the snapper clean up all was good. I do wonder if the cron job isn't running to clean things up, plus on an initial install if installing all sorts of bits and pieces they build up quick. To date across four systems I have no issues but only keep 6 numbered snapshots and no timelines. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.12.39-47-default up 9:53, 3 users, load average: 1.67, 0.66, 0.42 CPU AMD A4-5150M APU @ 3.3GHz | GPU Richland Radeon HD 8350G -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
