However, it is somewhat less safe, the system is in an inconsistent state until you reboot, with no easy way to distinguish which processes are using new and old versions of libraries. Also, and best, if you're using btrfs, systemd will make a snapshot, and so you'll get either an upgraded system... or if there's a problem, no change. Unfortuantely, there are _other_ problems with btrfs, so that's not the default (or recommended). Possibly we'll have this same functionality with LVM in the future. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- 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?
