From the way btrfs snapshots work the ideal workflow should be: 1) /user/ takes a snapshot. 2) user runs yum 3) rebooting/poking/(possibly) restoring I think the best value add to this would be a yum plugin that simply emits a warning along the lines of "Your last snapshot is ### hours old. Are you sure you want to continue?" This also keeps us out of the dangerous territory that comes with using non-ubiquitous FS features (your boot is on ext3, your root is on btrfs, your etc is on xfs and your usr is on jfs. What do you snapshot and how?) --CJD -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
