Package: snapper Version: 0.2.4-1+b1 Severity: important Hello,
I've been using btrfs on large a 2.5TB filesystem and keeping about 32 snaphots: ls -1 /home/.snapshots/ | wc -l # 33 I started to see slow down on my desktop due to a high i/o on disk. The command "updatedb" shipped by mlocate package was walking through the whole FS (and also the snapshots). I've added to PRUNEPATHS in /etc/updatedb.conf with /media /home/.snapshots. It could be a good idea to remove such directory with globing files: */.snapshots/ */.zfs/ <--- in case the person use zfs Regards -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CH.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages snapper depends on: ii btrfs-tools 4.4-1 ii libacl1 2.2.52-3 ii libboost-system1.58.0 1.58.0+dfsg-5+b1 ii libboost-thread1.58.0 1.58.0+dfsg-5+b1 ii libc6 2.22-5 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.8-1 ii libgcc1 1:5.3.1-13 ii libmount1 2.27.1-6 ii libsnapper2 0.2.4-1+b1 ii libstdc++6 5.3.1-13 ii libxml2 2.9.3+dfsg1-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 snapper recommends no packages. snapper suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/snapper changed [not included] -- no debconf information
