severity 876675 important tags 876675 + patch thanks The biggest reason why snapper fills up disk with snapshots is because the number algorithm does not cleanup automatically. When apt snapshots are taken by this package's apt hooks, number algorithm is used. However, unlike timeline algorithms that are periodically cleaned up by snapperd, numeric snapshots are not (even after saying number cleanup to 'yes'). Even after configuring snapperd to keep very few apt snapshots, this still fills up the disk eventually.
The solution to this part is to trigger a number cleanup after every snapshot. The fix is available as part of patch in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880144 . Hence, adding patch tag. Please consider accepting the simple patch to fix both bugs. Bumping priority as this as it effects all FreedomBox machines that use snapper. Thanks, -- Sunil
