I have just installed (a few days ago) Opensuse Leap 42.1 on my office PC. (NET-Install!)
The System partition (/) is on a btrfs ssd, Home and some other partitions on additional conventional HDs formated with xfs.
I want to use Snapper for a backup of my system-config (/), but it seems that none of the basic configs has been installed an
therefore yast2-snapper gives an error message and shuts down after OK.
What can I do to create a snapper config and/or why have those configs not been installed? (The available docu of leap 42.1 does not cover the situation of absent configs.)
REMARK: I that the absence of the snapper configs has been a subject with Milestone 1 of Leap 42. looks like this has not been efficiently fixed since then.
here are the results of the comands:
**# **snapper list-configs
Konfiguration | Subvolume
--------------±--------- # snapper list
The configuration “root” does not exist. Snapper is probably not configured.
For more instructions, see the “one snapper”.
@gogalthorpe: root (/) has 270 GB of which are 16.2 GB (5%) used.
General rule is never to log into a GUI as root you can accidentally break stuff. Use su - to become root in a console. note dash. Without dash you still use your user environment with dash you get full root environment
