And *maybe* the next time I take a shower I'll slip and fall, so I'll just decide now to not bathe ever again. This hysterical paranoia you're going on about is even less hypothetical than slipping in the bathroom. I read this buttkiss nonsense and feel like someone has injected my brain with novocaine. > again: *nobody* knows for sure the *complete possible impact* on the > users computer by restore a snapshot because a upgrade should be > rolled back. Well you know what I think, is that applications should largely be self contained instead of sneezing all kinds of crap all over my file system. It's one of the best examples of why I prefer using OS X compared to Windows, which are drag and drop installation of applications that don't install weird junk all over my computer. Very very easy to rollback from this. > > surely, you can do that, i and many other people won't do this now > nor in the future for good reasons and not knowing *exactly* any > possible impact of a operation is a *damned good* reason > > nothing more to say about that topic because > > * i *never* won't do that > * i *never* would use LVM > * i *never* use BTRFS > * so my environment even does not support that snapshots Uh huh. So this is sort like a user coming onto this forum and talking trash about all of linux and Fedora and what all is broken and doesn't fit their use case or workflow at all, and then after 50 f'n emails they say they never use linux or Fedora. Even for you this is an especially egregious waste of time and brain cells. I can even feel the rot occurring in my brain from reading this mindnumbing nonsense you've written in this whole thread, and the icing on the cake is that you don't even use the technologies you're bitching about. Bitch, bitch, bitch. That's the only thing you've accomplished. You're just bitching. It's f'n annoying. > > why i won#t use BTRFS/LVM? > > because my drives are a Linux RAID10 and i never re-installed my system from > scratch nor would i do that in the future and *because* not everybody is using > a storage even supports snapshots it would be a bad idea to rely on that I think you having access to a computer with internet access is a bad idea.
