13.1 >> 13.2

[BSDuser]

What are the main differences between the current version of 13.1 vs. the future release of 13.2?

What benefits will users experience?

In the past, btrfs seemed a bit unstable.

No crashes here with either openSUSE, SLES and SLED, snapper needs tweaking though.

Haven't had any problems with btrfs, but I question the need for Snapper then to default where btrfs is on the root partition of an average desktop home system, e.g on a notebook or laptop.

The current Snapper defaults (13.1) can easily blow over a 20GB+ partition, unless modified. That relies on users planning and reading openSUSE documentation to avoid running out of system partition space due to aggressive snapshot accumulations by default. Imagine if it came pre-installed with the hardware...

On 13.1 I managed to reliably crash btrfs, and make the partition
unrecoverable. There is a bugzilla for that, which is not officially
closed, so the issue has not been solved.

Hi
Well I guess you won't like the defaults then.... everyone is different
in their use cases, for me I have no issues.

Just try out the test case I used, and find out what happens. Then add a
comment to Bug 846807 saying whether it crashed or not.


What did I do? Well... I simply created one million of 100 byte files on
a 2 GiB btrfs partition. Bizarre? Well, it was just a test, I did not
expect btrfs to crash. None of xfs, ext4, reiserfs... crashed, they just
filled (or not).

The partition was intentionally small in order to stress it more. A
bigger partition would required billions of files, I suppose.


I don't currently have a factory test system where to try this out, so
if you have one... please test it ;-)
