Package: snapper Version: 0.5.0-2 Hi. I use the FreedomBox with btrfs, and it is configured to use snapper to take regular file system snapshots. But as you can see from <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/876514 >, this can bring down the system if the btrfs file system fill up.
Could snapper be changed to restrict the amount of snapshots kept in each category based on amount of free space on the file system, to avoid filling up the disk with snapshots? It would be great if snapper also provided a way to easily figure out how much disk space a given snapshot uses. Btw, are you aware of <URL: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/zfsnap >, which uses an interesting way to name snapshots (with timestamp and duration), which make it quite easy to administrate the snapshots from the command line. Perhaps something similar could be done by snapper? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
