When I installed it back then, the first thing that comes to mind was "there's no documentation on how to get started". http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Snapper_Tutorial is good, but that' is assuming root is btrfs, and snapper is already configured to snapshot root. For other distros, you need to first create the config manually, e.g. as shown for home in http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Snapper_FAQ Could you update the tutorial, or perhaps create a new "quickstart" page? I'm kinda reluctant to do it myself since I don't use opensuse, and some of my edits might not reflect the "correct" way to do it in opensuse. If that's not possible, I'll put up the documentation somewhere else (perhaps the semi-official http://btrfs.ipv5.de/ , or my own wiki). Two other things that I have't find is: - how to add pre and post hooks, so (for example) snapper could create the same pre-post snapshot whenever user runs "yum", similar to when a user runs "yast" in opensuse, - whether a rollback REALLY rolls back everyting (including binary and new/missing files), or is it git-like behavior, or if it only process text files. ... but those two aren't as important as the getting-started documentation. -- Fajar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
