Package: snapper Version: 0.2.4-1 Severity: normal Just discovered snapper -- sounds like an ultimate tool for me trying btrfs. Thanks for packaging/maintaining it for Debian!
It could well be an RTFM, but since there is no README.Debian with minimal guidance on how to get started I just copied /etc/snapper/config-templates/default into /etc/snapper/configs/testbtrfs, pointed there to the /mnt/testbtrfs, which is mounted btrfs: /dev/sdl on /mnt/testbtrfs type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress=lzo,space_cache) and now trying to get some snapshots going... e.g. (with the snapper.log tail -f'ed at the same time): # snapper -c testbtrfs create --description "just testing" 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):81 - Snapper constructor 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):82 - libsnapper version 0.2.4 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):83 - config_name:testbtrfs disable_filters:false 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(reload):114 - loading file /etc/snapper/configs/testbtrfs 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):228 - key:SUBVOLUME value:/mnt/testbtrfs 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):228 - key:FSTYPE value:btrfs 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):228 - key:SYNC_ACL value:no 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):101 - subvolume:/mnt/testbtrfs filesystem:btrfs 2015-06-25 23:44:18 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(loadIgnorePatterns):152 - number of ignore patterns:8 2015-06-25 23:44:18 ERR libsnapper(21921) FileUtils.cc(SDir):84 - open failed path:/mnt/testbtrfs/.snapshots (No such file or directory) 2015-06-25 23:44:18 ERR libsnapper(21921) Snapshot.cc(initialize):366 - reading failed 2015-06-25 23:44:18 ERR libsnapper(21921) FileUtils.cc(SDir):84 - open failed path:/mnt/testbtrfs/.snapshots (No such file or directory) IO Error. obviously there is no .snapshots there ... if I just blingly create a directory there: # mkdir /mnt/testbtrfs/.snapshots # snapper -c testbtrfs create --description "just testing" 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):81 - Snapper constructor 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):82 - libsnapper version 0.2.4 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):83 - config_name:testbtrfs disable_filters:false 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(reload):114 - loading file /etc/snapper/configs/testbtrfs 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):228 - key:SUBVOLUME value:/mnt/testbtrfs 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):228 - key:FSTYPE value:btrfs 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) AsciiFile.cc(getValue):228 - key:SYNC_ACL value:no 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(Snapper):101 - subvolume:/mnt/testbtrfs filesystem:btrfs 2015-06-25 23:45:16 MIL libsnapper(21921) Snapper.cc(loadIgnorePatterns):152 - number of ignore patterns:8 2015-06-25 23:45:16 ERR libsnapper(21921) Btrfs.cc(openInfosDir):213 - .snapshots is not a btrfs snapshot 2015-06-25 23:45:16 ERR libsnapper(21921) Snapshot.cc(initialize):366 - reading failed 2015-06-25 23:45:16 ERR libsnapper(21921) Btrfs.cc(openInfosDir):213 - .snapshots is not a btrfs snapshot IO Error. so -- is it me and RTFM or something more interesting?
