When I run yum it's never going to write into /home. But I don't know exactly what this means. Notice my /home and / root partition are the same physical device (which is fedora's default install on btrfs - or at least was when I did the original install). So I'm guessing yum-fs-snapshot will snapshot everything - since it does snapshot or root. Does additional snapshot of /home actually do anything? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
