I apologize, I really tried to read and understand the documentation, but the writing is too dense and compressed for me to grok. It’s written for server admins who already have a lot of background knowledge.
When you confirmed my understandings in the earlier post that helps a lot to “lock in” the concepts for me.
Cool. I’m slowly understanding the steps. Thanks for your patience and for confirming my understandings. I think I now understand the minimum to correctly use snapshots and rollbacks.
Documentation and tutorials are usually 2 very different things. I need tutorials, not documentation. Unfortunately, I searched and didn’t find any good and specific tutorials for my needs.
Earlier today I spoke to a Linux person who also helped me understand the details of the snapshot rollback process.
I think I finally understand the basic steps. I’m all set. Issue resolved.
You probably do not mean to say that. /root is NOT “a system”. It is the home directory of user root. You probbably wanted to point to the root file system, that is mounted on / .
It may not be easy, but computers are very stupid and so are the people that manage them. They will interpret everything as said/typed and not as meant. And thus confusion is created very easy when not the utmost exactness is used.
Yes, good point, thanks for the clarification. I guess I meant something like “the current /root of my system is…”
Also I did a zypper dup today (400MB) and it worked great. No errors.
The same misunderstanding. Please re-read what I tried to explain. /root is the home directory of user root. Like /home/invalid_user_name is the home directory of user invalid_user_name .
You mean / , nothing less and nothing more.
Ok, thanks for the clarification.
