I have had two filesystem crashes, one on / and one on /home. The crash on / left no trace. The one on /home was definitely a case of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733843.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon. In neither case did I lose any data. In both cases free space was low on the filesystem at the time of the crash.

I think the snapper tool is absolutely great, particularly the way that it integrates with YaST and zypper. ]]> Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:00:00 GMT http://disruptive.org.uk/2011/12/31/opensuse_12.1-_btrfs_and_snapper.html
