Public bug reported: on a small disk (here 60GB ssd) apt-btrfs-snapshot does not check if there is enough disk-space left for a snapshot.
For novice Linux Users if a system hangs due to 100% disk usage this is at least a tremendous showstopper. For newbies the system reaches a unusable state if 100% disk space is used. If one doesn't know that it's due to apt-btrfs-snapshot this is a big pitfall. There should be a check on the disk size and on the amount of free disk space before a snapshot is done. If the disk space is under a certain size apt-btrfs should ask if it is ok to delete the oldest snapshot(s). ** Affects: apt-btrfs-snapshot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773110 Title: 100% disk usage on small disks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-btrfs-snapshot/+bug/1773110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
