I'd like to use BTRFS to do something like the old NetApp snapshot system: every hour or so, there'd be a snapshot, then the 23 of the snapshots during a day would be deleted, leaving just a day snapshot, then after a month, 6 of 7 snapshots would be deleted, leaving just a week snapshot, and so on. Is this a reasonable thing to do in a cron job with a BTRFS filesystem? Apart from running out of space, are there any resources that might get used up? Has anybody done this for a year or two in an active filesystem, and encountered success or weirdness?
