Hi everybody. I'm running Gecko 15.4 Leap in btrfs at the moment with snapshots enabled, and it's getting to the point where the number of snapshots I have is starting to fill up the partition so it's a good idea to get rid of some. The snapshot folder is in the form;
/home/.snapshots/number/snapshot/username/subdirectories (subdirectories being things like Downloads, Documents, Pictures etc.
I'd like to get rid of some of these snapshots in order to reclaim the space on my hard drive. If I use snapper to do it, which I assume is the way that is recommended for this task, what name do I have to give for the subvolume?
Thanks in advance,
CP .
(P.S. I now think that I'd have been better off formatting the partition with ext4 instead, and I may do that and start again with an empty partition if I can't clear out the snapshots any other way.)
