Since I installed openSUSE Leap 42.1 my btrfs root partition has been inching toward its limit of 22 GB with all the updates that have been raining in since then!
Who can tell me what snapper configurations I can ditch and what to keep? Some of them are marked ‘important = yes’, so I have kept them, but I suspect that these are the ones taking disk space.
What does ‘important’ mean in this context? The bit of documentation I found wasn’t really helpful (e.g. I should get rid of the early ones, but they are all ‘important’). Am I right in thinking that cleanup is done ‘automatically’ (i.e. part of OpenSUSE Leap configuration) at boot or shutdown, so that I don’t need to change anything there?
