So, there are snapshots, right? The time stamp is when I have launched
do-release-upgrade, but it didn't ask anything about snapshot, neither
I asked for it.
This is an Ubuntu thing
`apt show apt-btrfs-snapshot`
which "will create a btrfs snapshot of the root filesystem each time
that apt installs/removes/upgrades a software package."
Not Ubuntu, Debian. It's just that Ubuntu installs and configures the
package by default, while Debian does not.
This behavior in general is not specific to Debian either, a lot of
distributions are either working on or already have this type of
functionality, because it's the only sane and correct way to handle
updates short of rebuilding the entire system from scratch.
During the do-release-upgrade I got some issues due to the (very) bad
behaviour of the script in remote terminal, then I have fixed
everything manually and now the filesystem is operational in bionic
version
If it is confirmed, how can I remove the unwanted snapshot, keeping
the current "visible" filesystem contents
By default, the package runs a weekly cron job to cleanup old
snapshots. (Defaults to 90d, but you can configure that in
APT::Snapshots::MaxAge) Alternatively, you can cleanup with the
command yourself. Run `sudo apt-btrfs-snapshot list`, and then `sudo
apt-btrfs-snapshot delete <snapshot to delete>`
